    WW1 Thornycroft restoration

    in Pre WW2 vehicles

    [QUOTE=Sean N;483173]Papier mache? Would be easy to do, easily mouldable and if made with the right glue and sealed would be just as resistant and mechanically strong. You could make up some bucks out of dowel or tube which you could arrange so they could be pulled apart to get them out of the finished tube. Alternatively, plastic pipe cut and glued - you could use filler to reproduce any curves etc. and might be able to flare it by warming and moulding gently? More difficult to paint though.
    Thanks for that, Sean! Steve tells me this morning that in fact, the Thorny one was made of steel and was not similar to the Dennis one - so we shall have to tackle this one differently!

    Could the original tube simply have been a 1 1/8" OD steel tube with the end flared?

    I have seen ads on that well known auction site for these, and I know people were looking at using them in 6 volt positive ground applications ( WW2 dodge )

     

    The e-bay ad for the 6v units specifically states the same bulb will run positive OR negative ground. I know LEDs are quite voltage tolerant, but polarity intolerant without a rectifier - wonder how they can use the same bulb for both polarities?

     

    Some bulbs are polarity sensitive and some are bi-polarity.

    Thanks for that, my trawl through the DVLA site suggested that it no longer existed ! If you know the owner perhaps you could ask them whether they might like a photo or two as it was when I dragged it out of the orchard complete with wrecker jib installed. I acquired it in Worcestershire, has it moved far ? Cheers.

     

    It is on the DVLA site:-
