101 Forward control

[juddy]

I belive the ADF had a number of these. Can anybody shed any light on

A How many came over????

B where are they all????

[Phoenix]

I can answer that one pretty well ;) The adf had 50 101's, and they are well sought after by collectors

This page on REMLR has the info
101 FC in Australia REMLR (http://www.remlr.com/fc101.html)

and this page the rego numbers and chassis numbers of all of the australian delivered ones.
101 ARN Listing - REMLR (http://www.remlr.com/ARN/ARNs_101.html)

more have been brought over from overseas by private import and there are a couple of prototype/pre production vehicles about the place as well.

I got them from a source in the UK who was knowledgeable about the 101's history and prototypes. I think he is the 101 club historian if I recall.

Anyway, that vehicle is actually slugbaits now. It;s a bit of a mystery because it and the one after it are out of chassis number sequence (look at the arn list 101 ARN Listing - REMLR (http://www.remlr.com/ARN/ARNs_101.html)) and were supposedly sold off out of UK service3 in the 80's. But obviously not!

I wish the brakes on mine worked that well.
I have plan well ahead if I want to stop.

Ditto x 10 - what little driving I have done with mine shows nothing like that:( - swerving and the odd wheel locking but nothing like that.

My 101 always pulls up straight as a arrow.
I do find I need to keep the front brakes adjusted to stop the pedal getting too close to the floor.
I have the gear needed to by pass the rear proportioning valve and will do it soon to see if I improves braking power.
Judging by the above photo, if the rear wheels are not on the ground during a emergency stop. then rear wheel lock up is not a issue.

The following is from a 1976/77 UK report into the reliability of 101s in army service - note the comment about 101s being dangerous when driven unladen and questioning the need for the rear brake apprortioning valve - I guess the Brits never got around to fixing the issue.
