    Uh, thought that was your weed....

    chases the tumbleweed out of the forum...

    And I expect your neighbours will be more pleased with your efforts top side as well Trevor

    I suppose it depends on whether you plan on a thorough restoration or the creation of a practical vehicle that still looks the part? I would find the diesel conversion very tempting, myself. trevor

    So, a load of Pig Toastie... And we wonder why some people think what we do is strange :-D trevor

    As a lesser mortal, I admit to not knowing what an ATG is.... Has this come off a range somewhere, and is there anything important that you are lacking? I love these gun, eh, weapon restorations. trevor
  7. GeePig
    Is that a question!!! Of course you must post them Trevor

    While I would love to uncover some mysterious store of forgotten equipment, I must admit that I find long, elaborate descriptions unconvincing - and yet a part of me still wants to be convinced. It must be the engineer struggling with the artist in me... trevor

    I am sure that you can if you try: http://accidentalmysteries.blogspot.com/2010/08/carved-from-lead-in-pencils.html

    Ah, the wheel of life of paint and metal continues, new replacing the old. What kind of paint do you use for the chequers? I quite like the way it seems to peel a bit and absorb the grime. trevor

    It is a design feature, so you can tell if anything falls off

    Hmm, never seen one of those before either. Does it have any fittings inside the main body? trevor
  13. GeePig
    If it starts on the handle and when bumped, have you considered the battery, battery leads, or starter? I have no idea how these are located in relation to the hot parts of engine or exhaust on a Jeep, though. trevor

    Very nice! I see that the rear tires are single piece, was this common? I am used to seeing a pair of tires on such rims. trevor

    WW1 Peugeot

    GeePig replied to Cel's topic in Pre WW2 vehicles

    Having also reread the whole thread, there seems to be a comment about cutting down some oaks to use as material to build the body? Did I read that right, because I though oak was quite corrosive, in terms of timber? Trevor

    So, what is wrong with the Dodge?

    It was lucky that you could have a temporary replacement made - such are the pleasures of old vehicle ownership. I think the reason why the pushrods are hollow is that once you have calculated the total crossectional area needed to transmit the 'pushing' forces, then a tube will be stiffer than a solid rod having the same crossectional area. So, a tube pushrod might end up lighter than a rod type simply because it needs less material to make it stiff enough for the task. trevor

    That looks like a worthwhile cause to me. trevor

    Here is an intro to the intricacies of glass moulding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_glass_moulding trevor

    Ah, I see, I thought that there was some system bypassing the engine trevor

    I am not sure where I would start if I had to patch holes in aluminium panels. I never really thought about the issue before. The old girl will look nice when you paint her, though trevor

    'they let unburned fuel go into the exhaust system' - unburned fuel from where? Do you know how that was supposed to work? trevor
  23. GeePig
    No, terry, that is not an inspection lamp, that is a grease gun trevor

    My has dad dug a Landrover and a battleship out of different gardens while fixing drains. Both Dinky, though. trevor

    I agree with Richard - check that flap. Are all the heat shields in position, including on the radiator, and the fuel pipe routed correctly? Is the coolant level in the radiator still OK?. Have you got your mate to press a balled up cloth onto the exhaust outlet while you listen for any blowing joints on the exhaust and manifold? trevor
