Hello Phill,

 

Yes there should be two of the spring plates, are you missing the can holder and toolbox? thats what these should bump against.

 

The loom runs down the driversside of the chassis :-D.

Hi all :-D thought it was time i got back on the bedford. was forced to take a bit of time of due too loosing my job,but all good now :-D.

I am in search of a air intake 90deg cast ali bend that is mounted up on the bulkhead with a bracket and the pipework from there to the carburetor.I have noticed that quite a few people have also been looking for the same parts :-(.My air filter is the oil bath type but the oil pan that fits inside is missing as was the top and all the support brackets, i managed to make a top:-D and brackets but need the pan.I have made the hoops for the canvas,rear and cab, with the support brackets looking good :banana:.Wiring is nearly finished just the lights and indicators to go.

I have re furnished a brake unit from a bedford oy tipper:??? with servo and was thinking of fitting it to the mw as the wife will be driving and she is worried about stopping, has any one else done this :???.

hi if your standard brakes are set up and working correctly you will have no problem in stopping your mw with the standard master cylinder set up .if you can get hold of rippo he was showing me just the parts you need when i was with him a couple of weeks ago ,reading the previous posts on here is your truck an ex mwr has it by any chance got the gear box pto still in place if so any chance of a photo ,do have any mwr specific body interior fittings you don't need .

Hi landrover nick

I am sorry to say i bought it with no radio kit at all,it was a radio wagon and was owned by rippo but he told me he had to much on to do it so sold it with lots of parts and all its kit.it was then started to be restored then sold as a going project with an oy tanker and parts .I then bought it as a nearly finished mw now trying to find the bits it was stripped of, at the time i did not know so much was worn out or missing .But on a positive I am getting to know every nut and bolt.

It would be worth giving Frank Brown an email enquiry at 'pegasus-drive@sky.com' . He does some top quality stuff, and I hear he makes British vehicle tilts with the right material and he has done MW's in the past.

have seen covers made by Frank Brown , absolutely top quality products ! Highly recomended !
