tankdiver Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This vehicle had a base repair just before it was struck off . Does anybody know what the data codes mean 4, 5 , 7,8, 9, 14. All from the data sheet from the engine capsule The handbrake paul is also broken has anyone got one from the offside if for some strange reason they are sided They are cast iron and I am at present making one in high carbon steel but its a bit of a chore but would prefer an original one Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Those numbers relate to EMER Modification Instructions which were done on engine overhaul. That record paper is for the engine only. Most Fox’s would have had several engines in their service life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdiver Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks Richard Do you know what the number s represent or where I can find the EMES modifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This has most of the mod instructions in it. https://www.greenmachinesurplus.com/cvrtcvrwj60-petrol-engine-emers-211-p.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdiver Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Great I will get one. Do you still have any transmission brake shoes for the handbrake I bought some for my last fox off you some time ago Thanks Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Possibly a couple, only one side. I’d need to have a look and see what’s left on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdiver Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 It probably needs shoes and that the reason the paul broke if you have a pair that would be great thanks Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankdiver Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Fantastic thanks Clive Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sorry there's not much detail although that is from the EMER POWER A 001 Detailed Index. There would also be a mod index page preceding S 577 but that is unlikely to give any more detail. I do however, have S 573-579 but it is in microfiche, if there was anything in particular you wanted the detail on, I can look it up.

Richard Farrant Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The engine modification numbers relate to the very early life of the Fox, two of the Mods are to replace parts on the carburettor. This was in answer to a problem where every vehicle was suffering failure of 2nd gear! There was a flat spot in the carb and this was most noticeable when moving off and the drivers answer was to push the gear change pedal down and rev the engine, then up on the pedal, hence why the 2nd gear band in the gearbox was failing. They tried several things but never cured it until nearly at the end of their service life a major modification to the cab took place and this cured the problem, all to do with too much fuel delivered from the accelerator pumps and a new carb base was introduced. The Mod. no.14 was to do with engine ignition timing. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdiver Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks Richard This fox was hull no 293 of 300 and had only short service mostly in storage and then just before it was struck off it went through a full base overhaul. why the army spends fortunes on service and repairs when 2months later they stuck it off beat me.

sirhc Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sounds like ours, from 1989 onwards it was in storage, base overhauled, back in storage, sent to Alvis, back into storage and then sold off with 310 miles on it. Before that it had been all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
