"Russian ones seem to pop off pretty easily"......... There is a new expression associated with this on the news recently - it is called a 'lollipop'

I just made an inline temp gauge sender unit holder. The gauge is a original type that was in the Vickers but there is no where that I can connect it to. I definitely need this working so this is the only way that I could think of that was simple and hopefully effective.

Great solution!

I realise you've probably used pieces of scrap to make it, but I wonder if using brass or aluminium would have been better for thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance?

Hi Tony, you may be very well right, but there are quite a few steel parts I've already made in the cooling system and I will certainly be filling it up with a high quality coolant

Default How is Colin and Jack?

Hello All,

Gee - no posts from Colin since May 2022! I hope everything is okay Colin and that you have just been too busy to post updates. Also, that you have not been negatively affected by the flooding?


Also similar best wishes and thoughts sent out to Jack Neville who has been awfully quiet as well since the month of October.

Kind regards
Lionel

Hi Colin.

I’m not sure if these are the same tanks as yours, but from the 5.45m mark onwards they feature a lot. I couldn’t easily see if this has been referenced prior in this thread, apologies if it has.

It’s an Australian War Memorial film, F01234

Thought it might be of use in your rebuild.

Regards, Ian.
