Thanks jacques, will do.
I do have some whitworth spanners in my collection, though not many. Need to go to more clearing sales.

Hi Ryan,

Should have added to specify grade 2 bolts as there are no grade markings on them. I have never seen any original Grade 5 or 8 bolt which have markings on any CMP vehicle except inside the engine.

There may be exceptions but for the most part the vehicles were put together with grade 2 bolts.

Cheers,

The time has come to pass this project onto someone else if they are interested.
If you would like to buy the F15 as a whole or are interested in parts let me know . Would like a quick sale as I need the shed space. If it doesn't sell it will be going onto eBay.
I am moving onto something lighter in this class of vehicle.

Hi Ryan its a shame you are changing projects

I am chasing a straight front Bumper with the spring bar a drivers side fuel tank and a toolbox and some saveable windscreen frames for a F15A got anything like that lying around ??

Sorry I didn't reply plushy.
The F15 was sold as a whole privately. The chap who bought it is going to restore it. I have pointed him in the direction of MLU.
I have purchased a S2a land rover as a replacement.

My blitz story is not ending though. The passion is still there. I still have a couple of trucks left and hope to one day have a restored F60. I'll start a thread on that when things are organised.
