When i was in the UK - there was something like strip grommet, various cross section sizes, sold by the inch or foot, just fit to empty hole and cut to length, but I haven't seen anything here like that. I have used old hyd return hose or fuel hose and slit lengthways, but that is not a...

With so many options, probably unit mods too, that in it'self is probably why it never made it into the TMs! Thanks all.

"Verical hole - BRILL-EE-ANT" (said with heavy Irish accent.) Well I guess that would work! My pins must have been replacements then, as the chain is not welded to the body or the spring clip fastened to the second(or third) link from the end of the L pin. But I can do that. Thanks a...

"J" is for Jealousy. Having TWO wreckers that is. or... My other wrecker's . . . . . .. .. ... a wrecker!

Does anyone with an M816 have their pioneer tools located anywhere other than on the crane boom behind the cupola? There are pics here on SS that show wreckers without tool racks on the boom, but it's not clear where else they might be. The BII is in conflict as to whether there is a tool...

Ken - I don't know about the availability of these trucks, but to 'comment' on your original question, in my opinion, is that, as said, the GL thing IS an adventure. Don't assume that the vehicle will be road ready and that there will be wrench time before you can enjoy the driving part. To me...

Hmmmm - that bracket seems way too thin for that... But a little weld on tube (just big enough for the pin) would work.... Thanks.

Is this what you have? Maybe I need to go poke something....

OK - silly question time. Front stabiliser - "L" pin retention. On my 816, I cannot see how the L pin and the retainer clip are supposed to stop the L pin from falling out of the 'U' bracket, then free to fall out of the stabiliser leg. There is a weld lump for the end of the chain, but as...

Or you could go 'old school'.... WD 40 or diesel on a rag (lint free). Great for keeping stray fingers off when at a public outing. ... don't plan on properly repainting 'till it is eventually rinsed off in the rain.

Ah. No wonder I didn't recognise it - I have batteries there! ... Handy. I have seen something there, had wondered if they were just extensions to the sides and end. Thanks

For when you have to shimmey down the cliff to attatch the winch rope to the Hollywood star who just sent their Porsche into oblivion!

Majmalfunction Which locker is pic 3? Looks like the door swings down or out to the side not up like those for pic 1 and 2. Great haul - will save a bunch of searching headaches! M35A2 - AZ Earlier pics - do I see two working 30ton bottle jacks? If so, want to cash one in? My 816 did...

appologies, I thought "Europe" would be enough. Most US units operated out of Germany and Britain during the Cold war, then did the Balkans, Bosnia, former Czechoslovakia etc..... (Wow - try spelling that without coffee) but they had to travel throughout most of the central, Northern and...

Other rope? Not sure if it helps, but I've bought climbing rope before - 1 million uses! Would be great with tackle blocks as it wouldn't untwist inder load. Always loads on e-gay, even black, also some 2" manilla right now!

Other than the "European theatre" that juanprado mentioned?...! Now do a search for "lollipop"...... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/58685-who-has-lollipop-lights-their-deuce.html ......etc.

That would work for 1/2 "... Do you have the pulley blocks or do you just need rope? What's the price/availability (loctn and weight for shipping) on the Green Line?

Is that the New Your or the London underground? What's "green line"?

Way too much idle time while I eat breakfast! :roll: [I was expecting a curved line, as strength should be related to cross section area not diameter!] Looks like your illusive 1/2 inch should be around 800 lbs. 8)

Didn't see a 1/2" rope listed. Which wrecker are you working from? - These excerts were from the M816 TM. Then there are the rope tackle blocks too....
