Armour dreams 2: Humber Mk IV

Evening All.

First let me thank Nielsv for all the fantastic pictures that he had on file and for letting me have copies of them, they are a fantastic source of information.

Chase, personally I think that anything that you are going to build will be a massive challenge and part of the enjoyment, at least for me, is working out how it all works and how it was constructed Just choose one and make a start.

It's on it's wheels and I am slowly working out how everything on the front cross member is attached but some of the brackets are quite complicated, life would be so much simpler with some drawings but that would be too easy.

I am glad that they where useful.
Its looking good already

Evening All,

It's seems ages since the last update but I haven't given up, just busy with other things and work.

I had a Jaguar 3.6 cylinder 6 cylinder engine and autogearbox so that is what I have used and as you can see from the pictures both have been fitted. The engine would have had an electric fan so I had to do some alterations to fit a standard fan. I thought using the existing autobox would make my life a little easier in regards to the clutch mechanism and the gear linkage but I may regret my decision, we will have to wait and see.

The transfer box is also fitted and I have made and fitted the opperating levers but only one lever is used as this transferbox has no seperate diff lock, so the other lever is to make everything look as it should.

Todays job was to make the gearshift lever and then I started the handbrake lever but I was ejected from the workshop as my son was spraying his digger. Kids, who would have then. What else can I say, you can see from the pictures the progress that has been made but it's got a long way to go.
