Richard Farrant Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ah so it was a bigger problem then. According to wikipedia one of the Sherman engines was diesel as well. Thanks The Sherman had twin GM 6-71 diesels and another not to forget was the Valentine tank. Then you had Foden lorries, Leyland Hippos, generator sets and so on, all diesel.

HotBed Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]89757[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]89758[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]89760[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]89761[/ATTACH]Painted, master cylinder back from past parts, work a dream only problem is we found a original steel pipe that was rotted! So had to have one made up. if you change the carb and inlet manifold to a post war one you will get nearly double the MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
