    Mrap wheel problem

    With everything slackend off, try a bradall. or two or three, place at regular spacing and drive them in with a hide mallet. (taper drift). My penneth. If all the holes are irrigular you might try dismantling and setting up the rims again.

    MEP-016b Connection Lug

If enough thread is available, dress the pitch of the threads also with a fine hacksaw blade or similar. A great deal of patience is required. However, for a...

    SARACEN APC info

    Give the (thoughtless under engineered!) over? engineered sracen a wide berth. The Stalwart's impressive over-terrain capabilities came from the fact that the 6-wheel-drive system lacked differentials, using simple bevel gears to transmit drive. A centre mounted no-spin differential allowed a...

    Survival 109 build

    Following your progress avidly, and that is a beautifull modification for the cab door through. Hmmm, ( after reading post 753) Two things for me to plan out now. Twin or at least an emergeancy (air or hydraulic) brake system. And a walk through. Would you consider placing large repeaters on...

But it is against the law to leave a vehicle with the engine still running. No one seems to comply, and no prosecutions that I know of. P.S. All that water coming...
