    Marks 101

    A good mate of mine asked me if I was still looking for a forward control, I'd been looking about for a 2B for a while but this definitely isn't a 2b, I thought what the hell.
    Just before Christmas 2013 I got into contact with AJ and eventually a deal was made.
    I am now the proud owner of 96100170A


    Originally the vehicle had a coach built body on it similar to a bus of an earlier era, full timber frame, clad in plywood and aluminum sheeting.
    Unfortunately the paint was hiding a hell of a lot of corrosion and the decision was made to remove the entire body and take it back to its GS configuration.


    Up to the Easter weekend land over show at Melrose, I have replaced all the wheel bearings, seals, rear brake lines, front brake lines and tyres.


    I haven't had a chance to sort out some of the electrics as it has twice the amount of wiring than the drawing shows.


    There is also the job of replacing the entire rear cross member, which will be a lot easier now the rear tray can be removed.

    Interesting.
    It was delivered to Farnborough. Probably the RAF base there.
    I can't find any army or RAF VRM (English version of the ARN).
    Well done on your purchase.

    Oh, it should be a 24V RHD.

    Hi Mick, yes it is 24V.
    It also appears to have a replacement motor fitted, it still has a tag fitted hanging from the front of the lhs rocker cover and stenciled treatment down the side of the rocker cover.
    will try to photograph tomorrow arvo.
    It runs very sweetly although there is a pretty bad vibration somewhere at 80km/h

    That will most likely be the 101 rumble - from the front driveshaft - basically learn to live with it by adjusting speed and or throttle postion - faster or slower to minimise it.

    If you want to keep your vehicle standard there is not much you can do about it.

    Gav, Tom and I had drive shafts made with double cardon joints. Mine aren't fitted yet but Gav's and Tom's are.

    Who made these and how much? I've seen references to them but I haven't seen a thread or details and pics yet

    Great to see another 101 owner posting up a build thread otherwise!

    Gav will probably be able to tell you off the top of his head. I'll take a little longer.

    And thank you for that pertinent information.
