Jack Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks Dave and it was exactly what said it was all those months ago:coffee::whistle: Yes it is the earth from the battery to the chassi so will go through that this week. I connected a jump lead from the battery to the gun ring mount and bingo, we are in business. Jess and I went for a good drive out and it is wonderful to hear, smell and kiss it again...may be I should of left the last bit out. Its like having your old friend back.

Jack Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Why have you got bits of string holding the front end together:confused: A PW guy begged to have a ride in real mans truck - so I said that is fine, I am a strong believer in Care in the Community but you will have to sit outside somewhere. So we tied him to the front - he loved it :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 That is an odd looking tow rope, and a strange place to stow it. Personally I would not trust crocodile clips - shackles/hooks are much safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Not sure about it being a man's truck...............looks more like a farmer's truck, with the old rope holding the battery on ........ :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GMC would be just the right size to stop a brakeless Stalwart if the sense valve decides to freeze again in this era of global freeze - oops - warming!!! :evil: :evil: Incidentally -with all those jerry cans mounted how on earth do you manage to run out of fuel???? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
