This is a extension alloy pole made to lift the tarp which covers the cargo area higher than normal so the crane is covered by the tarp.
A alloy scaffold pole about 4mtrs long runs from the crane over the cargo bay to the divider wall at the radiator out let.
I need this cover and poles to store and work on the vehicle out side.

the electronic ignition should help reliability alot and save having to synchronise the points, how many people actually have the sector plate to do this properly any way?
i used to have to do this alot on the B60 fitted to the humber pigs in northern ireland. i got pretty quick at doing it and could get the engines running really smooth but electronic ignition would have saved a lot of work. i have also heard of some people calling screened ignition waterproof and one idiot even called it armoured !
Is this of any interest to you Ron?

thanks for the info.
The main ignition coil part is a standard lucas 12 volt and the housing will take other standard ignition coils.......the housing doesnt wear out and these I should be able to get locally as it was used in alot other stuff used by the Aust army.
I am still working a few hours a week after work on the Alvis.
There is not much to report so I havent done one.
I am still chipping away at bolt off stuff from the body , removing rust with a needle gun and then a painting.
Time looks like its going to be tight over Xmas so not much will happen then either.
Ron.
These pics all have one thing in common....a stolly hanging the wheels in the air.

I have been reading a good little book by Bill Monroe about the history of the Saracen and it also has about 20 pages with rare pics on the Stalwart.
It has filled in alot of gaps in my knowlege of the stalwart
I have wondered why there is a removeable corner on the front edge of the cargo body............so a Stalwart can fit inside a Hercules aircraft

I manage to use a die grinder tool with a tungsten cutter to remove some countersunk bolt heads holding on the bulk head behind the cabin.
To my susprize it is mostly rust free between the cabin and rear body.
It confirms being stored out in the weather has caused the corrosion in the cargo bay area.
With the bulk head gone it makes some interesting pics.
