    Air wiper Motor M35A2

    in American Vehicles

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am looking for a replacement air windscreen wiper unit for my M35A2. I tried to repair it but there appears to be a build up of vacuum in side of the unit and when operating it manually it stiffens up. I think it may be a problem with the pressure relief button which stays in and is sealed. I can get one from the states but if anybody can help in the UK that would be great . Thanks.

    WANTED GUN MOUNT FOR REPLICA 30cal

    in Weapons/Accessories

    Posted

    You may have to be more specific as Pintle refers to a lot of different mounts. The basic pintle is the small piece that bolts to the .50 M2 or the .30 1917 to 1919 series (and M60). Then there's the 1917A1 mount usually seen on the 1917a1 tripod but is also fitted to the pedestal mount and with a different attachment spigot fitted to Halftracks and Tanks (Stuart?). Then there's the 30/50 cradle mount for the M31 or the M23 etc.

     

    take a look here

    Chris,

    I have looked at this site before and would have purchased something from them but it is only internal sales to the states. Shame. What I am looking for is a short pintle for my Jeep which support both front and rear pin fixings with a Ammo can bracket fixing. Does that help?

    Paul,

    Thanks. I clicked on the link you sent. It looks well stocked with parts. I could spend a lot of money there. But I must not tell the wife. It is a trip I have planned for the future . France, Belgium up to the Scheldt Estuary, the route my dad took in WW2. Do yo know of any places in the UK? Thanks.

    The problem I find with sites like milweb are that the sellers do not have to mark the items as sold, so you can end up chasing things that have already been sold

     

    Mark,

    Yes that is a problem. occupation hazard I am afraid, when you are looking

    there are a few on MilWeb at the moment, some pretty keen prices too

     

    Paul,

    Yes thanks. I look ever day. I have contacted a couple of people. One was sold very quickly. I contacted a guy in Belgium but he lived 2 hrs the wrong side of Brussels and it would have not been very easy to get there. I live in Hampshire. I do not mind travelling but you have got to take in the fuel costs to get it back at 5 to 6 miles to the gallon.

    30cal ammo can holder for BMG

    in Weapons/Accessories

    Posted

    If you have it on a M2 tripod then the can went on the ground. If it's on a pedestal there's plenty of repro holders around. BMG in the States have lots of variations but they could be expensive to ship.

     

    What is it you have?

    Chris,

    I have a pedestal mount. I have contacted BMG for something else but they would not ship to the UK. I should say my 30cal is only repro but I would have been willing to adapt a holder myself.

    30cal ammo cans question

    in Weapons/Accessories

    Posted

    Does anyone know what the square clips are used for on a 30 cal can? On the long side of the can is a square clip about half way down to the left. There is a square clip on the opening end of the same thickness but larger. There is a thicker square clip which is related to the hasp type lid catch. I have another question. Is the larger square clip on the opening end related to holding the can in place when fitted in some type of ammo can cradle on the Browning? Thanks Ladies and Gents.

    Hello from Radway Green

    Hi everyone :wave:

     

    I'm Dan from a little place called Alsager, a place probably best known for Twyfords toilets and the Radway Green munitions factory. I've always had a thing for military vehicles since clambering over them at Congleton carnivals as a little boy.

     

    I've got a small workshop on the Radway Green industrial estate and I'm currently working on a Toyota Hilux Surf V8 conversion. Maybe that counts as a Taliban vehicle!

     

    I'll get a 'proper' military vehicle one day, but at the moment, I'm learning lots just reading about the restorations that people are doing on here.

     

    Dan

     

    Welcome Dan

    Buying a Rep .30 cal browning

    in Weapons/Accessories

    Posted

    I have just purchased a replica from Crossfire and I can only say it is an excellent product. I contacted Marina at Crossfire after reading these posts and explained my requirements. Marina was extremely helpful and after several phone calls I purchased a 30cal and pedestal for my Jeep. The only thing she did not have was the stay which holds the gun in transit but I had a solution for that myself. I went to pick up the gun personally and when I arrived to my surprise they had manufactured a stay. I was over the moon. This is a sheet metal machine shop and if you know about metal and metal workships it has a smell and it certainly had that. I went a way a happy customer. Highly recommended.
