Looking for a Stalwart, Mk2 preferred, must be road registered and have swim kit, although I don't mind work. South of England preferred.

Youve just missed four that were for sale on milweb ,all mk 1 but i think two had swim gear .

Not sure if they sold or not

I thought it was an abbot that's a 16.5 ton 15MPH tank 8MPG right. to big for me i think

itll do about 30mph at around 1 to the gallon but will run on diesel ,petrol ,paraffin etc

I think it may have come from terry brooks originally but I bought it from a third party.

it took me approx. a year to get it mobile and road legal but iv'e still got a lot of finishing touches to do,mainly in the turret

QUOTE=teletech;468669]Thanks for the kind words. How long did it take to get yours going?

Any chance yours came from Terry as well?

In California, I can run it on the roads withing 1/4 mile of my shop with no paperwork or anywhere on temporary permits (18USD each) so not ideal but as a percentage of the total cost not too bad.

I had a very helpful surgery session with my MP, Penny Mordaunt, this afternoon. She now understands my concerns and will refer the EU proposal to Bill Cash who heads up the parliamentary European Scrutiny committee, one of the few select committees that actually has teeth.

I had a very supportive letter back from our mp Maggie throup stating that the control of deac weapons was down to individual member states and Britain had no proposed changes at present.

justin

very nice .will you show the progress photos?

cheers justin

last i looked it was at 14000 but reserve not met

Saw a diesel scorp on withams site. It went for auction. Anybody any idea what the final sale price was????

my history is a little rusty but were they not called tanks in world war 1 to disguise theyr'e real identity as land ships and the female tank was armed with machine guns only ?

superb!

govenor oil critical ,very bad if ignored.

the guys on the 432 site are fantastic for info.

justin

And me

Justin.

sounds like the isolator or a main fuse to me ,but i'm no expert,can you get a multimeter on it to see how far the power gets.

justin

welcome ,photos please,

justin

A good starting point would be a proper engine stand

Its on the proper mod pallet with mountings so should be ok .

I've seen mr donovans film on youtube but i can't see the wiring connections clearly ,and there must be something to stop oil pouring out of the hos connections.

cheers .justin

I've bought a j60 for the cvrt project and i'd like to start it outside the vehicle ,what do i need to connect ,don't want oil and snotters all over the place and i'm not sure of the electrical side ,

justin

There's a superb campsite near pegasus bridge with a swimming pool etc ,it actually backs on to the canal .

can't remember its name though.

justin

She's a petrol, and I'm in Brentwood Essex

sorry ,don't have a scooby doo with the mark 1,i'm sure someone on the 432 forum will though.

i think its basically the same running gear apart from the engine.

justin

to start it .battery isolator on ,ign on ,press acclerator all the way and press the start button until it fires ,make sure no-ones pressed the fuel shut off pedal.once running adjust the tickover to 1000 rpm and let the old girl warm up ,once warm slow down to 800 rpm ,no lower theres a mettalastic coupling which suffers at low tickover.
