i have just done my two piece rims on my K6, find someone with a 3 ton HIAB and use the jack leg the foot on the bottom of the ram is ideal, just keep feeding it around, and lots of washing up liquid :-D

good luck

lovely old lorry, especially the brass horn, do you know what year it was built

i know how hard it is getting time to do things, with a three year old daughter and my wife does two nightshifts a week, i have had to book three days off last week to do bits on my lorry, being self employed it hurts a bit to be spending money and not earning it, or is that the farmer coming out in me again ooooh aaaarh :-D

I did have a bit of a lust for the American six wheeler behind the catering tent. (The one with the yellow bonnet front) Was that an R.E.O. 'Kin gorgeous bit of kit.

that would be stuarts, will, just talk to anyone around the easy company camp they will direct you to the owner of the vehicle or pitch up at the cook tent, 118 dave is usually in there

Oy giz us a chance:-D i expect you know David the ignition system isnt 24volt,this problem with condensors is one i have come across a lot.The NOS ones dont last because of there age,the new ones made in china proberbly dont last long either,we were getting about 500 miles then they crapped out.Maybe jolley engineering do a replacement electronic unit but it want be cheap..cw.

i had this problem with a TVO tractor brought 4 condensers, 3 did t last anytime at all

dave,

i dont know what make of distributor you have, if its a lucas try phoning the DISTRIBUTOR DOCTOR his web site is www.distributordoctor.com martin specialises in reconditioning lucas distributors and supplying parts for them

good luck mate

Didn't he suspect the condenser:confused:

probably too old a vehicle for him :-D
