So went on a drive round the local festival, Then suddenly the buzzer is driving me nuts and the air is leaking out like crazy. Back home the kid removed the air regulator, and bypassed that section with a straight pipe. Great, good pressure no noise, and steeeering that goes lock to lock at...

P.S. And a LOUD bang! if anything like a spark occurs. (get checking).

Before you change one or all, did you check the acid levels? worth a try, that would make a smell if empty

Every one of my trucks has a loud intermittant reversing bleeper fitted.

Good luck with your trip, (and) enjoy the trip home.

After reading all this..Hard hats and plastic gogles now hanging ready.

It need not be bullet proof anyway. Fantastic project there, My hat is raised to you. Please keep us up to date on progress with pictures.

Hmmmm, sometimes it is better to let things "run" (figure) and sort themselves out.....? https://youtu.be/accECHA8GqQ

Interesting question. But actually just about any wheel will fit any vehicle if adaptor plates are required and fabricated. Personally I happen to like big singles on the M series trucks running "in line". So have used a variety of rims and tires that were reasnably priced and available. I.E. I...

Welcome to the craze. And thank you for an exelent and descriptive write up. It would be great to see pictures of your ongoing project, And also your future write ups.

That is one great looking truck, well done, glad you enjoyed a trouble free ride home. Also nice to hear about the assistance extended to you by the pick up point.

Sorry to hear of the lack of cooperation from the depot. Hope all goes well and you have a solid purchase. A decent drive home and have fun experiences with your aquisition.

The H4 units as mentioned are fitted to all my trucks. Bulbs are cheap as chips and readilly available at my local truck factorers. (75/100 watts!). The headlamp units come curtesy of the V.W. Eruro car parts. Also cheap at trade prices.

OK. Interesting those pictures. My goat has a fuel burning heater under the passenger seat. That would keep any cab warm.

Mine is instant. Allways has been, and has allways been run on "contam" mix the same as for the deuces and 5 tons. This weekend we are taking for the local town festival. Pictures will be taken, and duly posted. The kid will drive the goat. I will take my M45 530C fire truck.

Yes, but not so much trouble to the u.k. Exept for the dreaded euc. The wait and other hassles make bidding and collecting very prohibative. Also Most of the stuff I would be interested in is in the wrong (prohibitive) group. And strangly they are selling in germany and most of the stuff...

Good picture. would have that fixed in a giff. I have had people quit on a job with "scewed up" (!) threads in disgust. I then get a very small hacksaw blade and simply file into the good part of the thread groove, and continue gently round the screw "tracing" the line of the original thread...
