Removed the jerry can holder as they were losing condition. One of them showed the word Maddson?? Only spotted on one carrier though









Original WD stamped rear numberplate Convoy Light fitting lamp.



What the Andy 5000X is needed for





Noticed the tyres said 10 Ply followed by an 'L'. Other than Dunlop Track Grips made in England no other obvious markings?

Hi Richard.

Yes it was the brake master cylinder....A good look under FV1609 the next day as well as a technical review with Clive was worth its weight in gold. Especially as I now know where the Torque Reaction Bracket is, at long last....................

It looks more like "Made in ..........." missing word could be England, normal for steel angle to be marked like this.
