ferretfixer Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 here's how the cover turned out starting to look similar to those WWII diguise kits. The ones that made tracked vehicles represent Trucks! :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swill1952xs Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 A true sphincter puckering moment............ it's not as if you can sit in there with her and grab the handbrake if it all goes pear shaped. Did you have a plan as to where you would live if it all went horribly wrong .........you know........ like she decided to take a short cut :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul connor Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The gap to get things round the back of your place is tight enough never trying to get armour through there! I admire the fact you got a Cheiftain round there! I have driven many a FV432 but would not like the attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sara Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi sara here need more info, but.....you have to test each one to see if any charge is coming out of the generator itself....If there is no charge the generator is u/s, 'cause it's got two generators. You can put the plug on and it looks like none of the fuses have blown but if its not generating any power then its the gen thats not right. you only need the gen at the front as the rear gen is not nec for the running of the engine. If thats the case you can either buy a gennie from 15,ooo from army recon or 500 sec hand. hope this helps... sara :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 okay but there must be an equivalent material, will have a look around, want a sticky vinyl or something.,..in grey or green or beige... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 okay but there must be an equivalent material, will have a look around, want a sticky vinyl or something.,..in grey or green or beige... Paul, The original material was Dunlop Trackmark and also used for deck covering on yachts and boats. Understand it is no longer available, but there must be a substitute, try boating suppliers.

alan turner (RIP) Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Now as everybody knows GKN Sankey of Wellington Shropshire developed and built all the FV432's. Like F*** they did, as Geoff Fletcher said in his recent CMV first article in a series on the subject "7 were built at ROF Woolwich" but he didnt have any photos to back his statement up. However I can show the Wooden mockup in paternmakers shop Woolwich, rollout of first prototype between building 19&22 with the proud crew in attendance, plus the first properFV432 with side mounted exhaust and air con on sides and a local sidcup civil registration which predates most Sankey products by 12 to 18 months. Once Sankey got contract Woolwich ceased any manufacturing and the fate of the running prototypes was the gas mans torch along with all construction jigs, sounds like TSR2 over again. From then on Woolwich town fell apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 that registration is a home office allocated one, a lot of commers of the AFS had it, also a few Austin Gip-sys Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
