Today I acquired...........

I also liberated this lot.

RM Camping Stove.

Another Railway Lantern.

But this is in Olive Drab and is ex WD.



Got for spares, but it is in better condition than the one to be restored.

As was this one.

This was liberated, as I like them.

Interested to hear what you make of it. I've been looking at the TC004/TC005 for a while - tempting!

It is excellent. Really cool to see thermal details around windows and that sort of thing. I like Topdon products I have their battery testers this years.

I will upload some photos from it later today.

That's quite a good film, it was on BBC4 a while back. I quite enjoy a decent music tour documentary if it's well done, regardless of who it's about and whether I like their music.

Today I almost acquired a very very loud running V8 in the 6x6.

Had a friend pop down from Zumerzet who knows Rover V8s more or less inside out and also Megasquirt. So whilst I chopped and welded the exhaust down pipes to fit Pete ran the remainder of the wires to distribute power. I then remade the HT leads with the correct connectors on the end and we finished off wiring.

Pete forgot his timing light and TDC tool so he guessed at the timing in TunerStudio and we got it almost firing but there's a slightly dodgy CAM signal by the looks of it so we called it quits and he headed home.

Considering we had no exhaust at all, only about 1/4 of the ECU and engine wiring done, none of the fuel tank plumbing I'm quite pleased and impressed how much we got done.

Time to look at the CAM next and then accurately find TDC to see if It barks into life before sorting out the cooling system.

@Keith 66 could do with one of those in his kitchen

A set of seal installation tools.



Which do this-

And I still couldn't get the seal in.
Need to do it somewhere warm, as I think the seal was just a little bit too cold and inflexible to get it to deform enough to get it into it's slot, as I could only get about half of it located before it just wouldn't flex to get the rest in.
