			Hi Bill, 
		
		
		
			I was told that they had traveled around in it, but have 'upgraded' to a bus. So only short trips as the fuel price made long drives prohibitive. Registration has expired, so I dont envisage many drives from now on... So the short answer is; No its not lived in anymore.. & Rich, I firmly agree. As aesthetically incorrect as it is.. There is a warhorse beneath the tin. Better than a gate guardian, or a paddock memorial. As Tony Smith says: (not the Tony Smith) What is a thread without a photo... Here's the underbelly, complete with plumbing...& modern fuel tank...

			years ago a bloke from Canberra contacted me for some blitz parts and he told me he had a 6x6 ford blitz that was fitted with a ford 6 cylinder engine and it served in Darwin during the war as a medical truck of some sort.I never chassed him up at the time and I belive he has since passed on, often wounded if the blitz was a F60H made into a 6x6

			Hi Max, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Seems like a lot of fellows are passing on. Poor old Laurie from the mill the other day... Keith, Copper lines are not too bad. I have not had a problem with them in the past... I was young & more bullet proof then! Brake failures were not a worry. Reminiscent of a ride in a C60L at your place. ![]() Ian

			I have driven a lot of blitzs since I could reach the clutch pedal. Can't remember one of them that had brakes.

			As I understand it copper tents to fatigue and can crack with vibration and is therefore unreliable for either fuel or brake fluid.

			In Canada it is illegal and if you are stop for a road inspection you will be grounded until it is replace. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	A road rock could pierce the copper tubing and especially with the CMP one chamber master cylinder you cannot take a chance. Today brake steel tubing are available and they are very flexible. If you want I could give you a brand of tubing that you do not require tool to bend and it does a job better than the original. I used to be a salesman and these tubing were one of the product I was selling.  |

	Gilles is correct in that copper tubing for brake lines is a definite no-no! When I replaced the entire brake system in my F8 I used steel lines throughout. Regards, Jim  |
