hi mike,

i thought mark ran his petrol lump on reclaimed petrol like i do, cant see the logic of putting in a diesel and having to pay for fuel when the reclaimed petrol is free (well mine is) :-D

i see mark is not posting on here :laugh:......yet

regards

mark the pulley and turn the crank one full turn and then the cam is in the right place to adjust. Easy !

well it is for you mate, with all that wealth of experiance :-D

pigdog, its not rocket science, i can do it and im not a mechanic, follow chris g chart and you wont go wrong:-D

good luck

done:-D

GWT, i always morris straight 20/50 and had no problems, changed oil once a year.

as for smoke, do a compression test.

regards

Next in our so you think you are clever series...

can anyone tell me, from the pictures to be supplied, what size wrench I assaulted Jack with from pictures of the bruises and X-rays alone... I'll give you a clue... Imperial :cool2:

inch and a quarter

so I am going to really think about what to say rather than just banging out an e-mail. I hope to get something away by next weekend.

when you do mike, please dont go on about retro fitting ABS and airbags and dont even go there about the deck chair :pfrt:

Now I have answered that question Can I say I am still not persuaded about the need?

was t so hard was it :-D

 

Seeing as there is worry in peoples minds about unknown service histrory and possible fatigue, suggest you use new..

that could also apply to the lorry hitch ?

I am thoroughly relaxed. I am not suggesting not using safety devices already provided nor am I am suggesting taking Airbags out of modern vehicles, where did that one come from? The point is some people are advocating modifying military vehicles with fittings they never had just to"improve safety" and some people reckon this to be the way forward.

 

Rather than taking airbags out of modern cars, from your standpoint i'd have thought you would be concidering fitting airbags to old military vehicles, after all , your viewpoint seems to be, anything you do that might possibly increase safety should be done.

 

So why not airbags in all military trucks, ABS braking retro fitted, redsign the front ends with crumple zones, fit bigger E marked mirrors, Change all the air valves for modern versions, fit circuit protection valves here there and everywhere, maybe reversing beepers, A rear camera would be a good idea (this would also help you to see if your trailer HAS fallen off), There is no end to how you can modify to gain a supposed benfit of extra safety....

Inclcuding painting them a more visible colour (maybe Dynarod red??) so that will be better seen in modern trafiic, or driving down a leafy, winding country lanes....

mike,

i have not suggested any mods to any vehicle, all i have tried to do was help maverick answer his question, you are the one that has gone off on one about fitting chains to your lorrys not mavericks, that you have no mounting points and that it is not needed,mavericks lorry has mounting points, you have had two replys on this thread about trailers coming off, human error, i have been around machinery all my life and have seen a lot of misshaps, mostly human error, you are obviously one of those rare people that has nothing go wrong, never makes a mistake and is perfect in every way

why cant you just help maverick answer his question about where to get chains, than have nine pages of you dont need them etc etc

What's the big deal, you use chains, I don't that is all there is to it, no one is telling you not to use them, just be happy for us folk who are a bit more relaxed about things, and have found a simpler life style.

we are relaxed mike, you have made it a big deal, not us :nut:

you are also more likely to get yourself sectioned under mental health legislation....

is that not OCD ? :-D

all stuart wanted to know was wether his chains were man enough or where he could purchase some that are, his lorry is AMERICAN, not BRITISH and the americans fit chains on their vehicles.

As i know stuart personly, i know that he likes his lorry and gun as near perfect as he can get, as the american army fit them, why are certain people saying he should t have to fit them, there is no need to fit them, to get his exhibit right he HAS to fit them, the BRITISH army dont fit them, i am sure he is not bothered what the british do, just what is nescessary to get his exhibit as it would have been in vietnam

i also know that sometimes he has help fitting gun to lorry at the shows and that can be be a distraction in itself, so the fitting of chains will certainly help his conscience when he goes down the road

You have sumed up my reason for fitting them perfectly but I'm sure the anti SAFETY chain police will tell me diffrent

:rotfl:

very nice, :-D

Sorry, I still don't see how it is possible to close the locking bar correctly,

thats exactly why maverick wants to have breakaway chains :-D

Thanks Graham, thats the sort of info I needed, I will look them up on the web.

 

I will see what pictures I can sort out in the week.

sorry, they are between hassocks and hurstmierpoint, to many H s

regards

hi stuart, why not try stallion testing, they are located in henfield, cant fint number at mo, they will make you some nice wire cables the length you want, put ends on of your choice and give you a cert. :-D
