    Tyre size comparision
    Studebaker 7.50x20 on left, 14.00x20 in middle(Stalwart), 900x16 on right.( 101 Landrover)


    I had to purchase Two tyres for the Stalwart, but they are hard to find in this country and the seller would only sell a lot of Six.
    They are new old stock Denman military.
    I have had trouble finding replacement air blower cabin ducting running from a booster fan behind the cabin to the windscreen.
    It was disturbed removing the windscreen glass and UV affected and crumbled.
    I mob called the Purple Pig had a small amount of the correct size hose in this country.
    I found they have also a small amount of hose to suit 101 landrovers, from the engine cover to the heater box.
    For interest sake the 14.00x20 measure about 48 to 50 inches dia

    Every plate bolted to the out side of the vehicle to the body work has rust between it and the body as they were just bolted on with no sealer between the parts.
    I have been sand blasting, undercoating and refitting with silastic and stainless UNF bolts to keep out the weather and moisture.
    The screen over the cabin air intakes were straighten and the wire mesh brazed to each other again.
    The Aust cam paint is slowly creeping to the rear of the vehicle.
    Waiting on the glass mob to refit the glass.........they will only do this when they are quiet, but I cannot complain as the price is right.

    Nothing to report on the Stalwart.
    I do have 6 new old stock tyres coming 1400x20 bar treads.
    they are very hard to find in this country.
    Where did you get them?

    This page may be a interesting read.
    It details the sinking of amphibious vehicles in peace time.
    One was a Stalwart.
    The bearings in the water jet was not lubricated as the owner was not aware of the need too.
    After time the impellor was rattling around and wore a hole though the side of the water jet tube and sunk the vehicle in short order.

    Some sort of industrial tyre wholesaler had them sitting in his shed in Sydney.
    They are old new stock.
    The purchase was done though a company who wholesales forklift tyres to me for my business.
