:rofl:

Seems to have got worse since all those Pathfinder threads get dropped in everyday :-D

since putting her to bed, i have`nt had a chance to get down there, i will in the next couple of weeks and have a look for the brakes air pack which i`m sure is hiding somewhere underneath, hows things your end going ? :-D

regards

just to let you know 44K6 has changed his name to HotBed :-)

i will ask for you, after taking the pics i did think you might not want it as i thought it too far gone ......... there is a rear axle there as well

regards

finally got there and took these pics

have had another look at the front end today, there is a mag/distributor on it, the inlet manifold is broken off, so no carb, but it might be in/on the ground as the front end was upside down before it was righted recently, the radiator is there along with the rear axle.

the condition is slightly worse than the one you are trying to restore !

i will be back on sunday morning with a camra and will post the pics on here :-D

my two stroke oil is a blue colour :-D

i found this link on another forum www.freel2.com/forum/topic878.html i must say since ive been doing it my VW Transporter T5 is a lot quieter

is anyone on here putting it in their diesel fuel ? 330ml of 2so to 70 litres of diesel

regards

although mine had been running for some years like this with the previous owner, when i stripped it out i found the bores in good fettal and they only needed a honing, 6 yrs ago when i did this the parts (pistons, rings, little ends, big ends, mains and full engine gasket set) came to £100 from jeep parts, there was nothing wrong with the bearings, i just changed them as i had it apart

good luck

the problem i had when i first brought mine was that it was running rough, i took the engine oil filler cap off whilst it was running to see a plume of smoke coming out like a steam engine :cry:...............every piston had broken rings, hopefully yours won`t be the same

regards

that reminds me, i must phone peter for you

all the round roof ones only gun port was always left as if it was covering the beach and the next one up, no looking holes out to sea which seemed rather strange :-D

just been on a holiday in Kos and saw a lot of these type of Pilboxes along the beach facing Turkey

Hi Graham

I am new to the milweb scene so I would appreciate any help or guidance you can give in tracking down Crossley fwd spares or current owners, I am afraid I dont yet know who stinker or pete are but they sound like interesting characters!

Are there any Crossley FWDs that are restored or being restored at the moment? I know of the crash tender at cosford and a queenmary tractor at Winchester but thats all and niether have the general service cab which is what I need to copy for mine.

I also need a contact to have the front wings copied or maybe modify some Matador wings? ideas on a postcard to 'upto myneck in rust, andbushes, Hants.'

good evening, i have had a chat on the blower with them at Tinkers Park and they will be looking into it at the weekend, they`ve moved it but do not think they have scrapped it, they will ring me back and i will let you know

regards

i can give you peters number, he`s the chairman of the trust

it was Stinkers Park Richard

i got my diaphragm from john morter
