You lucky bugger. Did your stage 1 come from the army with the pto on the t/c? The internals are there but the cover plate needs to be removed and the external connection put in. Problem is though that the rear fuel tank means it cannot be run out the usual place through the rear chassis member, bu...

Howdy, Really, only 9k? George was on about 16k but then I don't know how many times around the clock that was :wink: What I did with the new alternator is get a bracket fabricated that kind of wraps around its body. On its bottom edge it uses the original mounting lug to anchor, and the adjusting s...

Displaying new postings
Is there a way for me to see new postings to the forum only, from any/all of the forums?

Winch bumpers, returned
Been thinking a lot about putting a winch on the front of George. I especially like Andy's set up here: http://www.stage1v8.org.uk/album/DSC00482sml.jpg There are a few main concerns that I have: 1. With the winch on the front how does that affect cooling? The engine maintains excellent temperature ...

I would not be so certain with any home made stuff and here at least, such things are generally not accepted unless they are constructed and tested (e.g. x-rayed). The brush bar on the front of George is bolted onto the...

Howdy, Another kiwi with another ex-army Stage 1. Great to find a forum with others with the same machinery as mine (well sort of :wink: ). Mine is a 1983 109 FFR. It is 24V, and is called George. I have made a few changes to it, such as replacing the big alternator with a 24V truck one and having t...
