Hi Jeremy,

Thats smart and whise at the same time to do.

I saw that my toolbox is a wee bit differend then on Rippo's photo's.

Wil make some photees tomorrow and put them on here if it can help you....

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Jeremy,

It was nice to meet you at Malvern last Sunday and its good to know that you like the toolbox...

You can always remove the rails and store them safely for when a normal toolbox shows up....

But as we say here its better to have something under your back body then totally nothing....;-)

You dont see it verry often that a person is trying to sell a toolbox for a MWD truck.

Cheers,

Louis

Just back from Malvern and hooked up with Louis and I am now the lucky owner of a rear tool bin for the MW

Day out with the shot blaster and a bit of straightening and it should be ok according to Louis this came of an Areoscreen MW which is fitting, big thanks to Louis :tup::

Thank you REME 245,

Thats some useful info that you have shared here with us.....

Cheers,

Louis

So is there anyone who have some photo's of his JAP generator and a photo of the control panel with whats in it too....??

The seller told me its been redone in '53 and its originally build in '43.

Makes me wonder what colour a thing like this should have back then...

Cheers,

Louis

Ah, it could be a J.A.P. as they look very similar to the Petter, your photo did not zoom up so not able to see any details. There were other engine makes including Norman. I recollect working on a JAP one still in service in the late Seventies.

Have had some more contact with the owner and he is willing to make more photo's so that might gives you (us) more info of what type/maker and date it is....

Hay Ian,

Thank you for the update.

The seller calls it a Jap Generator...das that makes any sence...??

Cheers,

Louis

Hi,

My idea is keep it as original as posible..so no new modern stuf on it....i think you wont make 25000 miles a year for that profit to safe on anything...

cheers,

Louis

Hi,

Normally with any truck you end the roping at the rear of both sides of your truck/lorry..

Meaning that you have to start from the cab with roping.

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Al,

Those beds have been made in WWII the one you did show on flicker is a proper war time one...i have one like that too, belonging to a Medical Captain with his army number and dated.....

The post war onece do have green canvas instead of the kaky coloured ones.

Its like the folding field beds they are stil been made but originally older dan WWII.

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Tony,

Good find about the numbers and date...i guess the MK V isnt for sale anymore now...

Cheers,

Louis

Well done....good to see another oldy on the road again.

Cheers,

Louis

Yes thats ok as long she das brakes...

I know the feeling Jeremy.

Did find a year ago the Oxford Military scale 1:76 Bedford MW...but as we al know thats toooooo new for US convertable drivers...

Hi all,

Das anyone know if there is any model makers who have a Bedfords MW ( aeroscreen) as kit form like on a scale 1:35 in there reange..??

Cheers,

Louis

Hiya,

I have just moved my bonnet springs from the side panels to the bonnet and mounted the outer srings.

But as you can guess i am interested in a spare set of bonnet springs toooooo....

Cheers,

Louis

Well my girl das have an early dark brown as a base coulor with Mickey Mouse camo over it.

You can use that trough out the whole war period from Dunkirk till Berlin and cheange only the signs.

But as you know its al what you want to do with your MV.

Hi Tony,

What year is your trailer from..??

I have seen an advertice here in Holland some months ago with excatly the same trailers (2) for sale back then and my feelings said it was post war....also becouse of the man said they came from the Belgian Army...wich isnt a standard becouse the Belgian Army have used Brittish trailer after the war as wel.

Cheers,

Louis
