  1. Still looking for this elusive carb with no luck yet to date
  2. Bumping this as been some years and still looking for proper k9 pump if any more info, thanks
  3. Hi, can anyone suggest or advise an alternative carb for an Austin K9. The original Zenith we have, previously refurbished, has so many rods and levers, working parts that all seem to be losing a bit in movement and effort it is a boogah to adjust, also looking for one that is suitable and not governed etc, any other simpler makes that are compatible? Oh for a solex or similar lol.
  4. wee amendment Iain both C60L and the GPW are 1943 lol
  5. Still looking for definitive answers re MOT of our 1943 Chevy C60L Wrecker and if it now needs an MOT as it can be classed as a breakdown truck on and HGV chassis. This would mean plating, fitting side bars and rear bumpers to modern standards etc which would totally change vehicle and render it non accurate for the period etc, also annual testing by DVSA etc. Gary
  6. Hi. looking for best source of IAT or similar anti freeze for ww2 vehicles in UK. All the places I have tried seem to have modern OAT stuff which can be harmful to older vehicles. Any links or ideas welcomed Gary
  7. Friend posted this after a recent meeting Copied this from mobile military museum, meeting we should keep in mind re gas cylinders 💥💥💥💥💥💥 NOTICE OF ADVICE TO ALL RE-ENACTORS 💥💥💥💥💥💥 JB WAS INVITED TO ATTEND A SEMINAR ON COUNTY EVENTS REGARDING SHOWS WHERE DEACTIVATED WEAPONS ARE CARRIED OR ARE FOR SALE. IN ATTENDANCE WERE THE POLICE, FIRE AND HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICERS. THE POLICE INFORMED THE ATTENDEES THAT BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE A SPECIAL TEAM OF NON-UNIFORMED OFFICERS WILL VISIT THE EVENTS UNANNOUNCED. THEY HAVE THE POWER TO CHALLENGE ANY INDIVIDUAL OR FIRE ARM STALL HOLDER TO PRODUCE THE DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATE FOR ALL WEAPONS. ANYONE WHO CANNOT COMPLY WILL HAVE THESE WEAPONS CONFISCATED AND HELD UNTIL THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION IS PRODUCED. THE FIRE SERVICE ALSO STATED THAT ANY SPARE GAS OR PROPANE CYLINDERS NOT CONNECTED TO EQUIPMENT WILL BE REMOVED TO A SAFE AREA AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC. 💥💥💥💥💥💥 JUST BE AWARE 💥💥💥💥💥 As far as I am aware you do not need a deac cert present as long as the deac proof markings are on weapons etc and you only need them if selling etc (although new legislation reqs the new deac regs) having said this I usually carry certs anyway
  8. opening up thread again to ask about this pump I have and trying to confirm it is for a K9 as numbers seem to be different from previous replies above. Any help appreciated as having trouble getting it to pump fuel although it does it be hand pumping the lever as well as the hand primer. thanks Gary
  9. Thanks Guys got a couple of options and perhaps one or two to choose from now. Re rear bracket this is missing so will have to add this when I reattach it to engine. The inners are quite good and has new brushes etc. Gary
  10. Hi I am looking for a starter motor housing for my GPW starter (12v conversion) that has broken off, any help or info where I might get one appreciated. Photos of part in classified wanted thread http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?54509-GPW-12v-Starter-motor-housing&p=472857#post472857 thanks Gary
  11. Hi Looking for a front housing/casing for a 12v Starter for my GPW (converted from 6V) as photos, or any info where I might obtain one as desperate to get it fixed before an upcoming show.....Help....l. Gary
  12. no one interested it seems although I did get 16 replies from classic car owners
  13. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/129843 PetitionRecognise the UK standard of firearm deactivation as equivalent to EU standards. Proposed legislation in the Policing and Crime Bill intends to enforce the application of a EU standard that will result in firearms previously deactivated to UK Home Office standards being classified as defectively deactivated. The EU standard is inferior to the UK standard and unnecessary here.
  14. Guys Purely an initial marketing exercise to gauge interest. We are looking at opening up a covered storage facility (5 to 10,000 sq Ft) for classic vehicles (Mil Vehs get priority) on a month by month basis with the option of making use of our workshop ramp/area at an hourly rate and also for an extra nominal charge a weekly or monthly battery and fluid check maintenance service. I am trying to see what the average cost per month for a dry clean facility with the optional costs over and above a basic rental fee. Likewise we will also be looking at offering an outside caravan/trailer/boat storage area in a secure yard as well. Building and yard has CCTV and alarms etc and we are either considering a 24/7 entry or normal hours and weekends - still trying to find out which may be better - if normal hours then we would also have to offer an out of hours service to open up far a nominal sum to cover cost of staff coming in at whatever time. Thoughts, discussions and comments welcome and also anyone who may be interested and want to be put on a waiting list, price and availability dependent etc, likewise anyone who already does similar advice and warnings re pitfalls and problems, customer relations etc. Thanks Gary

  19. Had our C60L wrecker uplifted to our new location by our Local REME unit as part of a charity assistance project. The Man SVR recovery vehicle (13 tonne lift and 50 tonne winch pull) looks massive compared to our wee CMP. The location is in built up area with lots of parked cars so a 4am delivery was necessary lol
