Speedograph Richfield Ltd repair and recalibrate to original specification most types of Smiths Capillary type gauges but I don't know if this includes fitting new capillary tube.

This is what I have heard thanks think crossfire is where I will go if no one on here has one :-)

Also less expensive than the one from Relics.

You might find a suitable gauge here and all reasonably priced.

The standard pannier frames and bags used on the WW2 bikes, as well as the postwar TRW are nothing like those fitted on the late 60's WD B40 models. I had two back in the early 70's.

Are these frames and bags the correct ones? Even if yes, not all parts are in stock or available.

If repro ones are O.K. are the correct pannier parts here?

I've found JAG63F on this site but it only says "We have found the following plate" and no mention of the vehicle, although there is a Full Car Check available for £3.99

If you think that Jeeps requiring restoration are expensive, this ex-Hubert Chantrey,1932 Brough Superior 800cc Model BS4 sold at the auction for £331,900 inc. premium (the highest auction price ever paid for a British motorcycle):-

A taper pin would be my first choice. However there is an oil way up the centre of the shaft which feeds the shaft bearing so a pin would block it. In fact this oil feed is probably the cause of our problems as at up to 40psi pressing on the end of the shaft, it generates an end load of up to 20lbs! I hadn't thought of that when I originally assembled it. Dimples for the grub screws look promising but I will think further before committing.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!

 

Steve

Is there sufficient metal to offset the taper pin so that it misses the oil way? If yes, could you use 2 or more pins along the length of the shaft as a belt and braces fix?

Thinking of biding on this.

Anyone more knowledgeable than me on Jeeps (which is pretty much all of you, I imagine) have an opinion on whether it's worth the estimate and likely to reach it?

Thanks.

If you are still thinking of bidding, remember that there is a buyer's premium of 10% on the hammer price and then VAT on the buyer's premium.

None of the cheffins links seem to work, mate

I don't know why the links aren't working.

The vehicles are on this page:-

http://www.cheffins.co.uk/catalogue/vintage/cambridge-vintage-sales---16th-april-2016-453-0?pg=14&perpage=200

3301 - Jeep

3314 - Bedford

3318 - Queen Mary

3326 - Alvis

I've just tried the above link and it isn't working either. All I can suggest is that you search for "Cheffins" and click on "Next Cheffins Vintage Sale" on their home page and then the catalogue on the next page.
