    The cabin hand bilge pump pick up strainer is located at the very rear of the hull so its is at the lowest level with the truck floating loaded.
    The problem is the stalwart with crane floats nose down unloaded.
    I have removed the handpump strainer from the rear of the hull.
    The plan is to fit the hand bilge pump pick up at the front between the front bevel box parking brake drums.
    I am thinking of using another electric bilge pump there and pump though the standard hand bilge pump.
    I have priced modern plastic 24 volt bilge pumps and the cost is the same as getting another good quaility stalwart pump from the UK.
    I have to save my pennies.


    This must be done before I replace the various cabin plates behind the driver.

    It must be remembered there is another electric bildge pump located at the very rear of the hull as a standard fitting , so a loaded condition can still be catered for.
    sand blasting and then painting the plates that hold the rifles and some tools in the cabin behind the driver.

    The crank handle has been sorted by using the parts from a ferret crankhandle.
    The crankhandle shaft is now stainless steel as it was the only thing i could find size wise to the correct diameter.

    Hand cranking the B81 Rolls is very very hard.
    The motor its self is very easy starting as it is a lazy motor of low compression and you only have to look at it and it starts.( not even any choke is used)
    To handcrank it is a slightly different story as the drag of three C section vee belts to the altenator and then 2 more C section belts for the cooling fans and then a wide toothed belt with tensioner for the waterpump makes for alot of muscle effort and to spin the motor over by hand is not very likely at any sort of speed.
    A aircompressor and power steering drive add drag too.

    Being a boat so to speak the crank handle hole must sealed with this.

    One end of the crank handle has a hex to fit the brass plug.

    Oil dag has been added to the central lube and tranfercase for the tracta joints (very expensive stuff, but it mostly solves wear issuses with the tracta joints)
    The front RHS bevel box/tracta joint oil leak is getting worse so a wheel station will have to come off soon( all heavy work )
    New C section vee belts fitted to the huge cooling fans.
    The original direction indicator switch on the dashboard has been replaced with a simple toggle switch as the standard item worked on a timer arrangement and was not running long enough before it had to be reset and generally a pain to use in modern traffic.
    Switch gear on the MK2 stalwart is not of the same quality as other English FV vehicles and must be a throw back to its commerical origins.
