    Congratulations on the aquisition Diana

    The brush bar wheel mount on the Gunbuggy in the image above is different from the one photographed in the back of Dianas car. Through the centre of the wheel, you can see the shadow of the tyre lugs on the front guard panel. I suspect therefore that the hastily engineered mount is made up of two bolts welded to the brush bar rather than a plate mounted arrangement.

    Just an observation

    I believe the spare wheel mount from Thomas the Tank Chaser centers the wheel lower down which may not obstruct the LH headlamp, but I rather suspect it will impinge upon approach angle quite a lot.

    Not that it will do a lot of serious off-road work, but Emmet will frequently approach a car float.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Who's BA, I do know who ET is, He's the chap who phoned home wasn't he?.

    UP until recent times i had a large number of gunbuggy bits sitting in the shed. didn't think anyone would be interested in them so chucked them!.

    Just joking Dig, they went to another member to help in rebuilding his GB.
    I did actually put them up for sale on the forum and got no interest, how things have changed.

    Regards

    The pig that could perhaps, but you were the pig that didn't for a few days there! (weren't we all?)

    Keep trying Pigger. I mean Digger.

    ...you'll figure out how to do it eventually.

    Pulled the brushguard out of "Vague" and sat it on "Emmett". The bar itself is in rather poor condition with a kink halfway across the vehicle and in relation to the vehicle body is rather narrow.

    The modifications are of very rough quality, which would need re-welding in some cases. The fit is a bit hard to tell as it is sitting on a non standard bar which sits the bar too close to the body.







    Will see how it comes up after sand blasting and repair.

    Looking at other SIIa the bar is the correct width, the non original bar exaggerating the bar width. It also seems there is a bracket for the convoy lamp under the jerry can holder.
