Richard Farrant Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Curiiosity satisfied easily. They are brand new pistons in cosmo. Full boxes of 12. I opened one to look. I even have the label off the individual boxes in front of me as I type.! LV7/AN K3 161 C PISTON CPTE +1/32 O/S QTY 1 I understand all of the above except the actual code - so are they for Dodges or what? They are for the 1940's Austin truck engine, as it says K3, then would assume they are OK for all the 3.5 litre engines, in K2 and K3. They would most likely be cast iron and look to be +.030" oversize. Any Austin part is worth saving. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanpart57 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for that, now I know they aren't Jeep parts I can sleep easier! (I'm sure any NOS parts are woth saving, buit even with the cosmoline they should be under cover or when the labels are gone nobody will know what they are!) Paul.

Paul, No problem with British parts, if the labels are damaged or missing, because once the cosmoline is removed there is another label on the outside of the box, also on inside as well.

ackack Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Saw this Matador behind a Tweed Mill on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides a few years ago. It was quite rough due to the poor climate there. [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackack Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Also seen at Rush Green, a pair of step-frame trailers which I believe were towed behind Dragon Wagons. Can anyone confirm their identity ? [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm their identity ? Ackack, You're quite right, those are Pacific trailers. They are certainly known about by the Pacific owning fraternity but I think Rush Green wanted silly money. I have a friend who has known RG for years who will be able to tell me the full story. I'll find out and post. - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 RG seem to want silly money for most things - they had an Antar Mk2 a year maybe two ago. Visually a bit of a wreck, let alone the poor mechanical condition, that needed a LOT of money spent to get into presentable condition and the price they were asking was Mickey Mouse to put it mildly. IIRC it was up for £12,000!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackack Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 RG are a little expensive but I only paid just over scrap price for the radar trailers, £100 per ton and they contain a fair amount of precious metals. £12k is a bit much for an old Antar but I would rather buy one than a restored jeep for the same price ! Anyway where else would you get one, there aren't many Antars around ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Grosvenor Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Those are VERY nice Ian - about the only vehicle I'd be tempted to swap little Maud for!!! Why swap her for one Neil. Why not get one to transport her about? :-D. Well other than the fact that they need special permission to go on the road and their fuel consumption is measured in gallons to the mile of course. ;-) Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FerretDriver Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Sadly NO Gov't whatever their political flavour or colour has ANY interest in preserving things for the future!!! All any of them have is the short-sighted view of "how much is it worth now" and "How much of that can I get into my own bank account". Crooks, liars and scum the lot of 'em!! Surprisingly the US government has allowed over 300,000 original (pen and ink, pencil) mechanical drawings of vehicles and other such from post WWI through about 1985, I believe, to be sorted and organized by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. I am one of those sorting drawings and it is a rare treat to come across the original drawings, dated in the very early days of WWII, so some vehicle. At least someone had the good sense to save these drawings rather then toss them into the nearest Dumpster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Ian, Do you happen to know if there are any WWII GMC drawings in those being sorted? I keep meaning to join the MVPA,now might be a good time! Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Signals Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2310637280086232637UWavjt So can anyone enlighten me as to what this is lurking in the trees? From a distance I thought Bedford QL but when I look closer it obviously isnt. Horizontally split windscreens. 3 axle/6 wheeler. Large well rusty beast.
