I have some of the headstock black arrow transfers for sale. If your interested? :-)

I might be. Have you got some pictures of it?

For the canvas contact Jim Clark at Allied Forces 44 (0)1454 261100, Jim is a member on here. His products are highly recommended.

Thx, I'll do that!

I think I'll contact Dawn Patrol

Thanks for the hint

Euhm ... Is Dawn Patrol a user on this forum? I cant find any Down Patrol ...

Ouch....that's my model, which I did more than 15 years ago. Not very flattering with those cracked Tamiya tyres:blush::-D

 

 

Nice project. I think we have seen the Morris on this forum before (?). I can't seem to find the thread at the moment, but there should be some pictures of the inside of "gin palaces" here on HMVF

Whauw ... The one at the museum picture is the one I own now :shocked:.

He was in a much better condition over then in the museum than the condition I bought him from from a Dutch guy last year.

Thx for the link ...

http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/coaster-hub-overhaul-pedal-brake-hub Here you go!

Thx. I'll try that 'manual'.

By torpedo brake do you mean the unit in the back hub, in UK they are called Coaster brakes? If so yes, they are very simple, strip it apart and you'll find a couple of brass shoes that expand when pushed back. Mine just needed cleaning the old grease out and refitting. thia is a useful place. http://bsamuseum.wordpress.com/1944-bsa-mk-v-military-roadster/

Thanks for the help. I guess I ment Coaster brakes. Thing is that it feels like it splits open. I ll have to find a way to lock it again. I am able to slow down just a little bit but you can't say that I'm breaking at that moment ...

I am looking after some spare parts.

I need the entire brake system (cables, handles, brakes, ...) Can anyone help me or tell me where to look?

I also need the backwheel.

Can someone also tell me if it is actualy possible to repauir a torpedo brake system? Or where van I find such a wheel?

Thanks a lot!

Here are some pictures ... I suggest I'll add pictures on request.

Hi Folks

I will need some help on this restauration project as i do this for the first time.

The restauration will take place in phases. This will be phase 1.

Disassembly

1. First I removed the Drivers cabin's Canvas. This one realy needs to be repaired or even rebuild. I heard that there are manufacturers who do this. I can send them the canvas if needed for measurement. Has anyone got me the adres of such a person/manufacturer? Or an alternative solution?
   
2. Can someone provide me with pictures about the inner cabine, dashboard, chairs, ...
   
3. Can someane provide me with pictures or tips about the engine? This one needs serious repaires as it makes a strange and loud sound (It bangs continuously) We'll have it overhauled. If anyone knows someone with a lot of expirience with Morrice Commercial engines and/or reconditioning engines, please let me know asap.
   
4. Pictures hints and tips are all welcome. We especialy need pictures about the inner view like the dashboard, seats and the engine compartment.
   
5. Any information about getting spare parts is welcome.
   

Phase 2 will be the back cabin. The chassis and suspension are in surprisingly good condition.

Phase 3 will be the radio equipment. I guess this will be the hardest part ... Can anyone tell me how many antenna poles were fittet on the side?

Thanks a lot in advance and euh ... LET'S DO THIS! :tup::

Can anyone help me finding a larger British WWII tent? (f.e. A British Army 160 lb tent)

Does anyone also know a way to repair canvas? Is there something like a merchant who does this?

I did already fix it by sticking a piece of canvas several times but this thing is becomming a rags sieve.

Is it a good idea to steam it to clean it? And finaly, is there a way (product, treatment) to make the canvas stronger again?

Thanks a lot guys ...
