Wanted Fox armoured car parts
 

Hello Folks,

Going to pick up my other project in the winter time. I have a Canadian FOX Armoured car (Build by Hamilton bridge Canada) from 1942 in need of total restoration and i am missing a lot of vital parts.

Most of these parts are not used in other vehicles, so very rare.

The most important parts to get this one on the road again are:

- Front Steering housing (steering Box) front Compleed incl. steering wheel
- Gear shifting box
- Early dashboard for civilian gages.
- Door hinges 6x and front visor hinges and meganism
- Hydraulic clutch meganism incl. pedal
- turret bearing ring incl. turning meganism
- Turret gun mountings (.50 - .30 cal.)
- Interior parts
- turret seats and mounting tube 3x

And lots of other parts.

If you have any information please contact me at vissershaven@quicknet.nl

Greetings,

I am restoring a Canadian FOX armoured car Mk1 1942. And trying to find parts for over 12 years now. A lot of known FOX owners helpt me with spares but i am sill looking for some importand parts.

I have had contact over a long time with James Plush from Australia, he had found 6 GM FOX chassis in his area. But i lost contact and i dont know if he is still there? (a lot of chassis went to Australia)

He is the only contact i have for the chassis with the most importand parts i desperatly need to get mine on the road again.

Looking for a cpl. front steering gear with mounting, rear axle, gearshifting tower, and many other parts.

Paul,

PM sent to you.

Hello Paul,

James is a member of this forum, see his profile here and send him a PM or email. But he has not been active on our forum since late 2015, so I don't know if he is still involved in our hobby. Do any of our Australian members know him personally?

Regards,
Hanno

I know Hanno, i have contacted him several times but no succsess.

Paul,

Did you have any luck with those parts yet?
Sadly I couldn't make it to your open house this year, but I hope the project is moving along nicely.

The first photo you posted with the Fox in b/w was taken in my home town of Hamilton on what we call the High Level Bridge. The bridge is still there in use every day by thousands of cars.

I have one haft of the turret ring for sale.

Do you need an axle?

Thank's but i got one now from John Belfield's streetsweeper. But it looks like a fox axle so far.

Thanks a lot
Paul

Hello Paul,

Do you know James Shopland? He has a restored Fox. It was built from 2 as the original and most complete was hit by a mine and the chassis was bent. He found a second rolling chassis and swapped the body over. So I think he may have a damaged rolling chassis. If you can let me know what you are looking for I can pass on your details to him.

Regards,

Tom
