  1. Hi Geordie Any chance you could shoot a copy of these to me too please? Just finishing the airborne jeep and a trailer is next project. My email is paul@rapidhydraulics.co.UK Thanks Paul
  2. Steve I'm always accidentally buying military stuff, don't worry IT IS catching!!!
  3. Any updates on these projects??
  4. Be careful on plastic with brake fluid, might react. Hot jetwash or soda blasting.
  5. I too was following this with interest, was looking good too, . Pity. "Barn Find". . . He may well own a barn, walk in one day looking for a hammer and "find" it. Lol I do it all the time, go in the garage for something and find stuff I didn't know I had, then forget all about the original thing I went in there fore!!!
  6. Brilliant find and great pictures. Some beautiful stuff there, liking the DUKW! Still some bits to be had, especially running gear.
  7. Some would be repainted but most left in the factory colours I would imagine
  8. And there's me going to try to sell you some 'Lucky Heather', but the consequences . . . . .!!! Lol
  9. All readily available from the hot rod guys, still being reproduced today.
  10. The Dressings Bag are easy to find and contained just that, dressings. (Maybe some safety pins ,tape and gauze. It's the First Aid bag that's hardest to find. This has purpose pockets inside for scissors, equipment etc. I've been looking for one for ages and when they do pop up you need to sell a kidney to buy it!!! I would be interested in a source of any as I need a few at the right price to finish my medics display. I have lists of all contents if needed, they were marked with different letters to denote their contents, A ,B ,C etc Thanks
  11. I know you like to keep things original but for the sake of time and your sanity, couldn't you make a two part one, brass tube and machine a cap end then because. Once dressed and machined you wouldn't see the join.
  12. Are the brass covers machined or stamped / pressed out?
  13. More like "How many women does it take to FIND the spark plug!!"
  14. Depending on the ID of the steel pipe, we use GOLF TEE' s, plastic, won't damage, long enough to get a grip of if in too tight and tapered fit! Always keep couple in my tool box, but as mentioned, only to stop the crud getting in, don't drive it like that unless you want the insides oil coated to prevent rust!!
  15. Not sure where to post this so move it appropriate. PLEASE READ https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=415700181912612&id=164168587065774&refid=18&ref=m_notif&notif_t=like&_ft_ I will be going to pay my respects to this brave soul. Can't let him go on his final sortie alone!
  16. Yes mate, they are blanks, crimped ends, fired one's splayed open etc.
  17. That's luck as wasn't going to post that I found a load of 9mm ammo in the nooks and crannies when stripping my jeep, some fired but some not!!! Even inside the chassis rails, they fell out when knocking the spring bolts out!!!
  18. What about galvanised dipping or powder coating, bakes hard and impervious to most heat and corrosives!
  19. I was one of those trying to get these two couple years ago!! I agree, they won't let them go and the "restored" one isn't that good!! I spoke to almost everyone there, it's a Trust and getting thru to them is murder!!!
  20. They are plentiful in the US but not so common here in UK. I have a few sources for them tho!
  21. Unf prob,coned seat. I could tell you and prob get them if had sample. I own my own hydraulics company so wouldn't be a problem. What vehicle?? Paul
