Good evening all,

 

Does anybody have any manuals for a Leyland Hippo Mk2? Looking for both the maintenance and drivers manuals. 

 

Kind Regards

Lawrence

Have you seen this 1st generation copy for £24.99?

Now, I am pretty sure that they had not invented jubilee clips at this time so, in due course, I shall make up some brass, bolted ones that look right. However, for the moment, we will live with these as time is pressing and we need to focus on the jobs we can't do without, first!

More shortly.

Is this the type of hose clip that you are going to make?

This may help you. Page 10 of the manual (page 12 of the pdf) covers voltages.

A collimator is a boresighter.

Steve, with your pattern making skill, could you just cast the pipe?

Photo taken at Weedon?

Another photo of it (at the bottom of the page) when The Fire Services National Museum Trust was in Storehouse No.5 Weedon Barracks:-

It might be less likely to crush the pipe if you space the bottom blocks and as posted earlier have a look at this site where it shows using solid mandrel inserts:-

Mandrel bending maybe the answer, explained here:-

Just read this on https://www.mvt.org.uk/joining

Airsoft/ Deactivated weapons
The MVT Public Liability Insurance does not cover the purchase or use of deactivated and airsoft weapons.

Different wording here:-

 https://www.mvt.org.uk/copy-of-membership-join

Airsoft / Deactivated weapons

Membership of the MVT, and Public Liability Insurance may NOT cover the purchase or use of airsoft / replica weapons.

It is at the discretion of the dealer if they acknowledge MVT membership suitable for the purchase of a replica weapon.

Having read Simon Bromley's clarification in andym's post it looks that the confusion would end if the 2 "Airsoft/ Deactivated weapons PLI notes" are both changed to give the same information as in the clarification.

Also, I have emailed Tim Hawkes the MVT Safety Office in case he hasn't received my PM asking for the definitive answer.

However, wasn't there something in Windscreen that said the MVT was classed as a re-enactors group for VCR purposes?  I'm confused!

If just PM'd Skyhawkes (Tim Hawkes) the MVT Safety Office and asked him to read this topic and give us all the definitive reply.

As MVT now have a member's public liability insurance it covers. I can understand a supplier doing Due Dilligence to cover their own backside.

Are inner tubes for classic cars suitable?

Have you driven a WW1 vehicle? Not crabbing would be unauthentic. 

I've not been lucky enough but perhaps one day.

And then that the chassis has a 1/4" bow as well causing the ends of the cross-members to misalign with the kerb rail which is straight.

Is the 1/4" bow in the chassis enough to make the front and back axle unparallel to each other? If yes, won't the Thornycroft crab?
