Hi Jack, I can let you have a copy of the w/shop manual for the Morris 15cwt. if that is any help, you will have to let me have your address as it is on cd. Regards, John.

Have sent you a P M. about the sheets in your reply. Regards, John.

Hi Rick, Wasn't aware there was a reserve in either, do you recall which one it is? Regards, John.

Hi Richard, All part of life's rich pattern. Many thanks,:tup:: John.

Hi Rick, Found the leak just the other week when I was underneath bolting up the silencer and I thought it was water dripping on me. Wasn't Regards, John.

Hi Gang, Bit of an update. Had a job adjusting the clutch so shang-hied Richard Farrant who had the idea of taking the gearbox out and he found the clutch plate was the wrong one, Richard is a great teacher, after 30 odd years at sea he still taught me some new cuss words. :shocked: Gearbox now back in place, when I took the rear floor plate out from inside the cab there was that much accumulated gunge round the PTO shaft and four wheel drive shaft change over levers that now it's off I should get a few more mpg just with the weight of muck off. Still a few weeks of work left to do but all being well I will make the Hythe do which is a week before The W&P. :sweat: Fortunately I won't really need the other fuel tank before Bethune so I have no pressure to rush it yet. :cool2: Regards, John.

Hi Rick, It's looking, you've done a great job so far. Now I have got the clutch sorted I have only got to start rebuilding all the bits I've taken off. I was starting to get a bit worried about missing the W&P but thanks to good old Kewelde I should be up and running before then, I've got the Hythe do the week before so there's not a lot of time left. I've been saving all your info. but I have to type it all out as I can't seem to save your answers to my documents in my computer. I'm sure I'm not the only one finding your guides helpful so keep them coming. :tup:: Regards, John.

Inner tube sounds a great idea, any reasons why not? Regards, John.

Hi Gang, What would happen if you used gasket cork between the retaining strap and the tank to prevent chafing, would that absorb water as well? :idea: Regards, John.

Cheers Rick, So far so good. Regards, John.

That sounds about the size of the hole in Bertha's tank,so I might be lucky. :sweat: Regards, John.

I suppose the next logical step will be that traders at shows will put up their prices to cover their increased transport costs. :cry: Regards, John.

When in doubt, ask Richard :idea: Regards, John.

Pray tell Jack, pray tell. There is nothing better than other people's misfortunes to help one smile at ones own. :-D:-D Regards, John.

I second that, have a good one.:-D Regards, John.

Oh dear, that usually means you will be dissapointed or the last one out of the beer tent.

I voted yes as one never knows what gems of knowlege will surface plus the abilty to womble off at a tangent is part of the joy of the forum till The Boss Man drags us kicking and screaming back on topic :nono: Regards, John.

The laborers provide the liquid refreshment I suppose? :beer: Regards, John.

Hi Gang, The way I'm going I shall need to get a stairlift to get into Bertha soon :red: Regards, John.

Hi Tony, Haven't got as far as looking yet, still struggling with clutch but the way my luck is running when I get to clean it up it will be rotten. Regards, John.

Nearly as good as Bertha,:wow: don't leave it parked outside, I could use a new driver's side fuel tank.:wave::tup:: Regards, John.

Hi Andy, Yes, It's a Morris 15cwt. Regards, John.

:cry::cry: I have this mental picture of the dancing girls in black mini-skirts and fishnet stockings :sweat::sweat: Regards, John.

Hi Guys, I might have got the wrong end of the stick here and I'm wandering off topic a bit but I went onto the website at the top of this item and reading it through I saw that Historic Vehicles are exempt on the Dartford Crossing but when I e-mailed them I was told I had to pay. Anyone have a difinitive answer? Regards, John.

Happy belated birthday wishes, Regards, John.
