    UAZ joins the fleet

    Thanks folks. Biggest pain right now - apart from the fact the wiring loom resembles no other printed circuit diagram - is the interminable wait first to get prices out of the suppliers in the East - and then for deliveries!!

    UAZ joins the fleet

    If anyone is interested the full photo library to date is here: http://s34.photobucket.com/user/ArtistsRifles/library/UAZ%20469?sort=3&page=1 As of now head, side and tail lights are all working properly, a secondary number plate light has been fitted onto the jerry can holder to take a UK size...

    UAZ joins the fleet

    Recently added a UAZ 469 to the fleet here to replace the Alvis Stalwart that had to be sold. Bargain price of £1,000 but in need of much care and attention. Work is ongoing - currently having fun sourcing indicator relay and hazard switch to complete the electricals but should be fun when...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Did you mean Frank - or me?? :) I'll send the links to the files to that address and you can help yourselves!! I "think" with UK regulations it has to be a UK dealer but am not totally sure. Any deactivated weapon has to be sent to either the London or Birmingham Proof Houses to be...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the link to the manuals I have in electronic form. I have them up on dropbox and it will not let me generate a public URL for the folder, it has to be for a specific e-mail address.

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Fitting rubber pads to the OT-90's tracks is not a quick or easy job. The only pads that will fit are BMP-2 ones. Last I heard they were about £16 each here in the UK with a month or two waiting list. And you have about 92 each side.... To fit them you (Lee, the owner) will need to jack the...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    No worries :) The air system - you will (should) occasionally hear the off-load valve on the compressor popping off when the system is at maximum pressure. You may also hear a hiss from the control valves down by your left knee as they do leak slightly. There is a pneumatic release for the...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    First off - congrats on the purchase! When you get it running the grins will be stuck on your faces as if by super glue :-) To answer the questions: I have some manuals - one in American English (censored by the CIA!!) - I think they are on a website somewhere, I'll check and if not then Ill...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Ummm - actually the BRDM-2 is what the cool kids buy because they can't join the ultra cool BMP class owners!! :-D

    OT-64 owners, how are they?

    I looked at one recently - first issue is if you are over 5'6 and not of slim to medium build it will be VERY uncomfortable behind the wheel. Driving visibility as dire too - definitely a 2-man job to move on the road. Mechanically complex as you might expect - everything is waterproofed as...

    Uaz 469 help!

    Looks like I'm about to join the throng of UAZ 469 owners... What's in line is far from pristine though - I'll need to be doing a fair bit of work: However - it was running reliably when laid up and is already registered in the UK thus sparing me the nightmares of having to deal with VOSA...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Bear in mind the pressure gauge is reading in atmospheres, not Kg/cm3. IIRC - fully charged the BMP system is sitting at around the 2200 psi mark - not something you want to have a weakness in...

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Found this on YouTube - the development story of the BMP-1! Got some good footage of the other design contenders for the project as well as footage of how the Soviets deployed into water (and a good description of how a BMP-1 swims). ‪Design history of BMP-1‬‏ - YouTube

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    Thanks for the nice words Dave! :-P I must point out though, that the credit really has to got to go to Suvarov and his colleagues over at www . russianarms . su All I did was make it usable for those who cannot get the DJVu reader to work OK. Look forwards to seeing you at Beltring too Dave.

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?

    I had that using Google Chrome - had to switch to FireFox to get the numbers to read OK! The actual file is in the region of 18 Mb - too big to dens via e-mail. I'll upload it to my web site today and post the link here for you - will that be OK??

    Anyone have a BMP/OT-90?
