Hi David. Got some pictures for you, didn't get chance to get the tape measure out, ( this is British winter, blowing a gale, freezing cold and raining. ) I'll do it next time I'm out there, probably next week. I believe all the WMIKs have been released now, don't know if it's correct but I'm told t...

Hi David.
I'm going out to my mates farm tomorrow to get some pictures of a Mk2 Ferret he's selling, I'll get your pictures of the WMIK while I'm there.( He's just ordered a gas firing 50cal. to put on it!!)

When did you send it?? nothing appeared here!!

Yeah, but watch out for the Vogon Constructor Fleet.

It runs a lot smoother on propane (none of the dreaded flat spots or hesitation ) and only a very small drop in power, not really noticed in everyday driving, and in the UK it's half the price of petrol.

On top of the carbs are 2 propane "mixers" the carbs stay stay standard and propane is fed in at the top. 2 solenoid valves cut off the propane or petrol depending on switch position. This means it is dual fuel and can run on either.

It started life green, then got painted sand, and then the green added. So take your pick

Very usefull for turning the engine to check the points, but I never managed to start one on the handle even when I had a brand new Haf in the 70s

Had a quick check on L119s, unfortunately it seems they are all still in service in Afghan, but I suppose they'll have to release some eventually
watch this space!!

Hi Dave. Decided I need 2 copies of all 3 manuals, so I've downloaded them onto disc and i'll take it to my local printers 10 minutes walk away. They are very cheap plus I think I'll be watching my printer for a good couple of hours to do that lot. :D I was offered a Samson a while ago, pretty much ...

Hi Dave.
I'll try my best for you , I'm also looking for a CVRT, I'm fancying a Samson. But it will need to be more like the lottery than Santa for me to get one.

Just an extra point David, found a place that has brand new superwinches on supacat mounting frames, they still have 5 in stock.

I'll get you some more detailed pictures and measurements, it's only tubular steel but it's quite intricate. I don't think he'll be willing to sell it, he's having too much fun with it, looking now for the 50cal for the ring and gpmg for the swing away mount, allready found smoke dischargers.

A friend of mine just bought this as a present for his son, I spent a couple of hours getting it running and had to give it a road test!! Great fun.
