rupert condick Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Tom Ok the large brass plate is the post war rego plate. -- YP 49 registration the chassis no on this plate should be the same as the chassis no. on the chassis 75293, but appears to be stamped 75393 I have to note the first 3 is in a different font, not unusual for there to be a mistake here. So I think they meant 75293 So Chassis no. 75293 WD No. A5850193, contract S.3165 30th April 1943, starting March 1944 . Chassis no. 74701-75577, A5849601-5851100 . you Have A1782244 which is a wartime rebuilt no. -- YP 49 is the post 1949 WD No. if you enter this into the Royal logistics Corps. web site,(pay 30 pounds) you will get a key card or two, that may give you a bit more info or not.

If you can't find the strip, could you make the edge using the first 3 stages of making a wired edge:- http://wiki.dtonline.org/index.php/Wired_Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas or a mod that will stop the leak ? Thanks. Ian, Suspect the rear main bearing cap and rear cover on the block (above the cap) have not had the care and attention on assembly. I have rebuilt many of these Austin engines and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert condick Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, Engine rear bearing cap has two cork strips down the side as a face seal, should check they go all the way down, As this bearing housing is the end of the line for the oil flow should check the oil pipe is clear, and the correct shell bearing fitted. Great job on the Ambo. just note Czech nos allotted in UK, 1278563-1283562, this site still come up not secure so I am not visiting much. regs rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
