Very nice indeed.

Thank you very much Adrian :tup::

Hi I have friend who is preparing to repainting his M10 IIC, it war originally painted Light Stone BSC NO61, (I think it served in Italy) He is looking for a modern equivalent to the Light Stone BSC NO61, RAL. or British Standart, The British Standard O6E 50 Apricot, is fairly close but are there any other alternatives that are closer? cheers

Thanks Guy's Ron I have sent you a PM. Cheers

An 1944 Ariel W/NG has found it's way in to my possesion (I must stop looking at forsale adds) It has possibly been in the Danish army after the war, then civilised and 10 years or so ago it war restored to this. It is running and driving, though the carburator needs abit of adjustment, its running to rich and soots the plug. I would like to get it back to its war time configuration, because this is how they also looked in the danish army, They still had their wartime census numbers on at this time. Can any one help with spotting what is wrong or missing, and possibly direct me towards where I will find it and what will be the correct to buy for it? What I have found to be wrong via looking on the net is: Missing the steering damper and knob. Possibly the glass in the light schould be flat? The brackets for the headlight schould be steel strip and not tube. non original bracket for speedo non original Speedo and to long cable non original battery strap non original side stand. Missing both triangular toolboxes Missing carrier/pannier frame non original stop light, but I am getting the original. non original horn non original regulator box. From looking on the net it seems that Draganfly might have many of the pieces missing, but I am not sure what to buy. It has a solid state regulator which I might want to fit in to an original regulator housing. Cheers

Its looking really good, do you have any picture of the speedo bracket?

Well there is a cure for that love http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=73125&cat=4

Hi Sadly no. I was in Norway instead, but one of the Scammells posing is owned by a forum member

A very nice little truck and welcome

Thanks for the replies. A pity that those archives cant be found, it would have been fun to know where the vehicle has been. It is by the way sitting in a 1941 Chevrolet Cab 12 CGT.

Hi Is it possible to retrace where an Auxiliary workshop was during the war, I have a vehicle that was rebuild at the workshop called B 42, the 19/10-44? Does any one know where this was ?

Looking great Bill.

Hi I would be very gratefull if you did that thanks.

Hi Alan If the impeller seizes the square part on the back brakes off to avoid damage to the drive shaft across the engine

It has been awhile since last update and only minor progress has been made, actually it has been more a set back. The engine looked a fine at first glans but when it was taken apart and delivered to the machine shop numerous problem where found. The rust in the cylinders where to deep for just a honing, so it will be bored to 0.20 The cam shaft and cam followers are pitted an needs replacing/regrinding. The crank shaft had not been supported correctly when it was overhauled by the army so it needs to regrinded to 0.3 or 0.4 undersize. and now to the worst part there is a 3 inch long crack in the cylinder head, that will be almost imposible to repair, and a couple of valve guides where not to good. Sadly neither John Morter or Norman Aish are able to help with a replacement head, so if anyone has a spare cylinder head lying in the back of the workshop taking up space I am interested.

Very nice pictures indeed, very pretty cab 11 and the Scammell and Cab 12 CGT looked good aswell

You might have seen this but http://www.armyvehicles.dk/dodgew300m.htm otherwise it might help and this not so much but the handbook in danish http://dmkf.dk/Filer_manualer/Dodge%20W300M%20-%20BTVJ-2300-901-12.pdf

What a petty with those trailers, I would love one for my Scammell's

Very nice pair indeed

Then please share :cool2:

Where in Denmark do you live ?

Welcome to you Sir I aswell have enjoyed seen the Scammell/Conqueror combination, and still remember spending an hour or so watching you load the conqueror at the war&peace show some years ago Cheers

Looks like brake drum to me but no idear from what

Thin adhesive chrom foil can also be bought for model kits. It might also be worth a try http://www.bare-metal.com/bare-metal-foil.html
