Another Project? We are a bit late to 2025 - Update video!
Another project? really Arran how many do you need?
This defender is much needed to assist in collecting spares and parts for our current projects?
We're short of time and need to finish building it ready for its first trip out - a staggering 600 miles in a Landrover that has lived in a hedge for the past 10 years!

    Great! Landy content, even better that it's a Wolf-a-like just like my 110 Tithonus! The brake caliper bolts are better removed using a 1/2" spanner or 1/2" 12 point socket, 13mm can round them off, a socket will fit fine with some encouragement from a knocking stick. 👍

  • @kenwheeler6150
    @kenwheeler6150 День назад

    Oh no! Basic recovery mistake. Your tow rope is running up to the towed vehicle, this has the effect of lifting the rear of the recovery vehicle when tension is applied. Tow hitch should always be higher than the anchor point on the stranded vehicle

    • @tinkeringwithtanks
      @tinkeringwithtanks День назад

      i hadn't noticed until now! yeah makes a massive difference, our Cent AVRE being a prototype doesn't have the lower towing eyes, and the militant only just moves it about as it takes the weight of the drive wheels, where as a normal cent or chieftain she'll boss around no worries! i'll blame the cold weather for giving me brain freeze ;)

    Used to work on those. They were usually attached to a generator for Aircraft ground power purposes made by Houchin. I can't remember power output but 28Kva comes to mind. They had both governer (to keep power output stable) and the overspeed on the Magneto (houchin had a scintilla type Magneto fitted) I totally agree about the points 2 sets IRC and were a ba**ard to sync. Exhaust manifold would glow bright red at full chat and white if running wrong.
