I think the sphere is completely hollow, and thin walled, it is for use at night and contains a scary cat, hence the feline eyes peering out through the front.

Just as well you didn't try to collect them as he is also one of the hardest business to find! Glad he had them another worry out the way!

These occasionally turn up at Beltring, appear to be the same as on petrol meadows. Not much help I'm afraid but they may not be as rare as you think. Worth ringing Banisters with numbers as he is very good at cross referencing military parts, and very helpful: http://www.milweb.net/go/banister/

At last, the voice of reason. Good job some one is sane on here!

you may be right Mark, isn't that a Ford script oval on the bonnet side? Though it could well be Taunus in the same style

Dunno but it looks like those wooden tyres have turned up again!

This is the cunning way in which the British abroad made sure they always won rugger matches against the locals, lead shot in the ball and aim for the goolies!

No doubt you have a plan Will, but I if I had to re-make that panel, me being stubborn, I would spend some time shaping a bit of seasoned wood, say about 9" x 3" to fit pretty tightly in side it, then I would clamp or screw the new metal to it and bend it round, making V cuts where necessary with a thin 4" cut off disc, a few small holes for screws into the wood to hold each bit in place whilst tack welding. (Make it oversize and trim to fit when all shaping is done) Finish welding, a bit of adjustment my be needed after welding to get it snug on the wood, then fill and prime, it works for me, and cheap.

The inventor/sales man is a bit embarrassed, he is pretending he has trod in summat!

I remember the prop conversation but the method is still a mystery, unless it's just like body filler.

Never seen inside one of those CW, please get it all in bits ASP! I also know nothing about repairing things with Belzona........... I've led a sheltered life.

Babel Fish is just an amateur trying to emulate the Stanley the master!

Come on young fella, keep awake at the back there! OK, what are you looking at under the desk? It had better not be a mucky Scammell book or I will have to confiscate it and hand it to headmaster NOS for safe keeping! :nono: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=7057&page=76 The owner of that Explorer drove it down from Darby to Bordon just for the day, his name escapes me but he was very enthusiastic and certainly knew how to drive it! In the fourth pic, extreme right, I can be seen Videoing it all for the benefit of HMVF members, just as the mudflap tore off. Something went wrong...

I thought that was the best car ever built, I loved the looks, in my young mind it was cutting edge stuff and equal to something like a Bugatti Veyron today, I did worry about the heat of the exhaust burning following cars paint work though! Any chance or a pic of the Rover Gas Turbine IS60 water pump?

Don't worry about tenuous links to topic petop, good stuff I remember the fuss about the car at the time! http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/icons_of_invention/technology/1939-1968/IC.061/

No but what he has obviously got a very rare copy of the misprinted CKD Explorer and Constructor assembly manual that gave rise to these hybrid Scammells!

A very impressive blend of old and new throughout the whole vehicle Jimh, no one with any knowledge of what it is like to keep old lorries going and driving them on modern roads could find fault with any of those modifications. Looking forward to seeing the finished Pioneer!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Depends on your rings and valve guides....................................

Agree the HD, and an HDD makes things so much easier, get a big enough battery too, as you're well over budget you might as well get one of these monopods, these are the best ones, and cheap! How do you think I held my Sony DCR SR 32 steady all the time Pat Ware was rabbiting on! http://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-velbon-up4000-monopod.htm

Best to have a look here, Jack, http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/camcorders?jtid=17043321&source_code=908GUJ You can join for a trial period for £1, (don't forget to cancel afterwards) to get the full unbiased reviews.

It was 1957 actually, sorry to be so pedantic, they can usually be identified by the badly made chain lockers and most had a problem with oil mist blowing out of the breathers beneath the cab.

I would strongly advise you so follow your first instincts on this and get on with sourcing the parts, dare to be different, there's loads of ordinary Explorers about! Alternatively, just bring all the relevant parts down to my place and take away my cab in return!

You may well be right there Will, I once had an ex REME chap looking at Forceful who said "We kept the off side long box empty for the NCO to sleep in, and the rest full of beer, that would get you out of trouble quicker than all that recovery kit, we slept on gun planks on top of the rear wheels"
