Morning all,

I've got two diagrams which may (or may not!) help.

Cheers,

Hi, If it's original (you can hope!) it will be three studs in the manifold with brass nuts holding the exhaust on, which in theory should undo nicely. However it might be a bodge (like mine) with a mixture of bolts/studs and mild steel fittings. Your best bet is to soak everything in the release fl...

Hi, I fitted a Double S full stainless system on my 2A lightweight in 2015 when it went back on the road. It's still solid, however the pipes (not the back box) are all very rusty like a standard exhaust - apparently this is because of the grade of stainless steel is not actually stainless. I was to...

I've got XZL's on my lightweight, seem to handle well on road. Last leave I was doing 35mph downhill with a car in front (not really obeying my distance etc. :shock: ) when they cut out completely and came to a grinding halt with no brake lights! Luckily I was mildly paying attention and noticed so ...

Afternoon all,

I got the springs for my heater from ebay

They still sell them which is nice to see.

Cheers,

Chris

Chris I'm afraid this is the nearest I have to yours.

Chris

It's nice to see the in service photo's above.

Good Morning Bob, On my 2A the clutch hose route/length is the same as yours. When I rebuilt the truck I got a full package from Rocky Mountain UK for the suspension/brake pipes etc. this included a new stainless braided clutch hose. I have no documents to show the length unfortunately, hopefully so...

Morning All,

I've been using 'SAE J30 R9 5.6mm' rubber hose for fuel and not had any problems with internal damage due to ethanol.

Cheers,

Chris

Some nice work there. I would say that your gearbox is original as the number is close to the chassis number. Have you checked the axle serial numbers? On my 2A the chassis and axle serial numbers are all 236008xx. To be fair so many parts were swapped around by the army that it's difficult to say w...
