At least it was easy to free up the brake. Just smash the drum completely !

Barry and Stefan both checked out the Otter project. Stefan and his father Dirk have supplied a lot of the smaller hard to find items to keep these vehicles going. Barry’s help and knowledge has also been extremely beneficial. It’s guys like these that make this forum such a great place.

Pulled the wiring loom cover from the steering tube. Just look at that lovely khaki green #3.

I also removed the instrument panel/dash. I’m thinking it’s the first time in a long long time it’s been out of the vehicle. Bruce Parker,on his last visit over, suggested I might get lucky and the mileage numbers inside the speedometer would still be present. Well when I pulled it apart they were. Checking out the mileage on the speedometer seems to show 13,719.8 miles.I didn’t think it would be this high but then again they did sever with the Dutch forces for a close to 30years after the war. My thoughts are the Dutch drove it the most.
