Billruston Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 It says date of manufacture '1959' does that mean when it was registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It says date of manufacture '1959' does that mean when it was registered? Bill, In those days they were not so worried about checking the correct date of manufacture. It was registered in 1959 and was probably straight out of a government surplus sale. The lorry was registered in Warwickshire (AC), so if you wanted you might find that the original registration records still exist for that county (not with DVLA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11th Armoured Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The inverted 'Y' with two dots is the insignia of 6. Panzer-Division (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_Panzer_Division). The two circles with the line above signifies a motorised unit (see http://pala130.org/tact_symb_files/image002.gif). Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billruston Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Master cylinder rebuilt & painted, trying to get all the little bits done ready to be fitted, I'm hopefully going to get the hoops and canvas soon,I needed a radiator tap so ordered one from john Morter he said theres one big one & one little one it could be either? I bought both and they don't fit! Will I have to re-do the tread?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Could you explain a bit more about in what way they did not fit? Too big or too small for the hole, unsuitable thread type? trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Trevor, the first tap was to big, so john kindly sent another one which was bigger, that's to big now!, the rad needs resoldering we're the bottom hose connects so once it's out I'll have a better look and see. bill.

Billruston Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Had a long day with the brakes, rebuilt the master cylinder, connected it etc and could get no brake fluid to come out to bleed the brakes, so of again and had a look and it seems that the plunger that's on the servo is not pushing in enough through the master cylinder, it can be done manually just not with the pedal asif it's missing an extension that connects to the servo?, would anyone no?, thanks bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that present? If it is missing, that would explain your problem. If it is in place, then the linkage in the top of the servo needs adjusting to give 1/16" clearance between the end of the linkage and the outer casing. I can let you have a copy of the relevant section of the manual if you need it. If your link rod is missing, I think have a spare, or possibly I can get you one made using my spare as a pattern. How many of the cleats do you need? I think I may have a few spares lurking somewhere in my garage - I will have a look at the weekend. Good luck with the master cylinder. Mike.
