question J60 Jaguar 4.2l engine variations
Niels v replied to robin craig's question in I may be stupid, but......
That sound very scary.... do you have any pictures of the damage, because I really cant comprehend such damage it must have been going really really fast when it happend. -
We have one of these odd looking carriers, they where tank dummies, centurions where to heavy for the roads and use to much petrol. So they dusted of the old carriers, modified the front for a larger radio and fittet metal tubing turret with canvas to the top. sadly all the Bofors are gone now. We have a few Diamond left in the country, most went to Holland and the UK. But 24.580 is still here http://www.ghrvpk.dk/koeretoejerandre/Diamond%20Kranvogn%20M969.htm

I would recommend a needle gun/scaler instead, it noisy but it flakes of the paint instead making dust. I cleaned my chassis with needle gun and a chisel, the rust that was left was removed with an angel grinder with wire brush.

Mine was also a bit stiff to start with, it free up after I went through the whole linkage with a greasegun and oil can. Sorry cant help with the history part, the only thing I know is that the reg number is a post war one. I am Danish but I think other forum members might be able to help. -

Thanks ! Those pictures are perfect, the brackets looks very original. I have this picture from a milweb add, and my engine, my springs where gone so I add some which work but is not correctly placed. -
I would think that the Bedford engine would be closer related to the chevy 214 engine from a CMP Chevrolet truck, they certainly look a lot like each other.
