another Aussie humber fv1601

[john piercey]

Thanks Jeepfinger ,i havent been involved with or been to any shows with military clubs but will prob proceed to as i move forward,we (my son Colin) and i have a couple of ex army 1966 11a landys 1 ex NZ , 1 Aust both incomplete ffr units both rebuildable but not high on list at moment,Colin has Diamond T tank transporter 980 1942 to restore it is in remarkably solid cond with only a few parts missing and fairly minimal dents/rust etc fitted with Hercules DXFE diesel,will be looking for any technical information etc in the future.
Richard i really meant the straight camoflage green as in Protec paint colour rather than WW11 or auscam type camo,sorry to confuse you,i have seen photos of drab ones which made me ask although i am unsure if they were Aussie ones. the floor bolts with exception of 2 all came out nicely which considering the fine thread and length still stuns me they definately built them right first go. A replacement NOS or very very good spare RHF mudguard (wing) and rubber "wing finishing strip" came with vehicle as it had had a small bingle on front which i have straightend out although i think dented guard is still repairable i will fit the replacement.

Any pics of the tool brackets and .303 top internal bracket/straps would be good Richard if you have any, it only has the butt mount left on both floor sides(would have been a real bugger of a setup in actual use i reckon)

Hi John,
A real good friend of my lives in Kalamuna, is that any where you? His name is Norm Chester. His son Ray has a Landy, he had a Bloodbox, not too sure if he still has that one.
.
Military Section meetings are held at the VCCofWA clubrooms on Hale Rd. near Tonkin Highway, Wattle Grove, on the third Tuesday of each month beginning at 8pm. Anyone with an ex-military vehicle of any era or country, or an interest in them, would be welcome to attend any meeting

John, looks like you have just missed the last one.

Regards, Dave
