When that jack was made the size would be 1.00" x 5/16" x 36.00" long not metric.

Have you inspected the chassis for the number in the usual place, forward of the engine mount on the top of the left hand chassis rail. If that is present I can help you with verification for the DVLA.

Hi do you have the part number for the seals and where did you get them from please?

Regards John

My father was in the 56th London Infantry Div. (The Black Cats). Many British soldiers were attached to the American 5th Army which proceeded up the west side of Italy starting at Salerno and then Anzio. He could easily have been attached as well, as I know Guards Divs. were attached.

The traitorous ones may have, but  Dutchmen also fought on the allied side.

The Dutch did fight in world war 11 from the 10th May to the 17th in response to the German invasion of their country.

How can anyone comment without any link to pictures?

One possible problem with this approach these days, is that before you are able to apply for a registration document, you have to get a NOVA document from HMRC stating that there is no VAT to pay. How will you tell them where you got the vehicle from?

They were issued to mountain troops.

Hi Steev

Which suggestion did you use, as there were very different suggestions made.

John

Is this not a little premature, seeing as little organisation is required?

I think you are looking for Joes Motor Pool, they are still on Ebay. They do make very good panels.

What sort of trailer/era are they for?

You first need to send a letter to:

HM Revenue & Customs

Personal Transport Unit

Building 22, Priory Court

St. Johns Road

DOVER

CT17 9SH

Give all the detail you can about your purchase including chassis number and as much of its history as you can, if they are satisfied they will issue you a NOVA number which will satisfy the DVLA that there is no VAT to pay.

Best regards

I am with Mike30841 do a full compression test before you open anything up, this will tell you a lot.

I have used Nutexa Frictions up here on the Wirral, they were very obliging when we needed linings for a Gaz that had oversize drums following scimming due to bad scoring. Would be worth a phone call. 0151 632 5903. They have been in the business since the sixties and make linings for coaches and trucks etc.

Age doesn't come into it, it is the condition of the bearing surfaces that matters.

Regards

John

Surely the correct way to approach this is to assess the bearings for wear. If the bearings are showing signs of wear, pitting, chatter or corrosion they need replacing. If not clean and regrease them put them back with new seals, and adjust them correctly.

Steve I have two of the side legs complete with casting, if the are of any interest.

I have had a look at this site, as I am also interested in a British census number. But I am at a loss to find any relevant info. Can you please advise where to find it on this site?

But without the vehicles and re-enactors the organiser has no show to entice the stall holders and public to attend, therefore he has no show.

A friend of mine who was in the TA in the 1980s was pulled for not displaying a tax disc on a Foden wrecker coming out of the Birkenhead tunnel. When asked by the cop who owned the vehicle, his response was Her Majesty the Queen. Classic!!!
