    Haven't been doing much on the Dormobile for a while, need to get a military Land Rover ready for Corowa next year.

    Still on the lookout for parts though. The Father-in-law is clearing out some gear he won't use now due to health issues, picked up a stainless steel two burner stove & grill that should fit the Dormy (I'll keep the old one stored somewhere).

    Also scored a hand winch, chainsaw and a 21litre Engel fridge. Plus some other bits & pieces like a home built storage system for a Suzuki Jimney c/w a hand operated 'forklift' he used to get it in & out of the vehicle ! Looks like a trip to the scrap merchants is on the cards soon.

    I'm still working on a military Land Rover, one of my boys has a Subaru to get through a roadworthy, I have a couple of sheds to finish but I've been tidying up round the Dormobile and I'm starting to look for parts to get the project moving again.

    The indicator lenses have faded and the sidelight lenses have cracked, they are the Sparto ones fitted in the UK back in the 60's. I was lucky to get one sidelight lens at the swap meet at Cooma but need another plus four indicators. They are a different shape to the usual Lucas items.

    I've posted a wanted advert on the forum and next will have to try a few companies in the UK

    Having a tidy up ready for a 'hard rubbish' collection and I thought I'd sort out a roof rack given to me by a fellow forum member ages ago (thanks Ian).

    The aim was to cut down a roofrack to make one that fits over the front section of the roof and overhangs the bonnet.
    The rack had lots of bits welded onto it and weighed a 'ton' so out with the angle grinder and a few cutting discs later I had some parts to weld together a shortened roofrack.

    Took ages to cut/grind off all the additions that had been welded on. Just need to weld on some legs and brackets for support arms down to the windscreen pivots. Then it'll need sandblasting & painting......

    Just found a video on YouTube of a Series I gathering at Gembrook back in 2007.
    The landowner Steve is a member here.

    YouTube

    I noticed a Dormobile, looked a bit closer and it's the one I now own ! It appears a few times but at 50s in there is a rear side view and a couple of distinctive items that confirm it's mine.
    Contacted Steve and it turns out that Bevan Fenner was driving it, he put me on to it a few years ago........small World.

    Colin, I’m guessing the bracket looking parts are for the winch?
