Cross channel raiding

[Andy Beevers]

Hi Hanno, yes that is my initial plan, sort out the mechanical and electrical side, get all the running gear up to standard and then decide.

I am awaiting a reply back from the recovery and towing museum in Chattanooga Tennesee, they are doing a bit of research on the twin boom holmes crane on the back, this will help find out when the conversion was done. The quality of the conversion is outstanding, the front wings are made of a single sheet, no joints, no welds and no filler, the coachbuilding on the rear is also to a very high standard, thinking to the costs involved in all the body work and sourcing the crane from America, seems highly expensive, surely there must have been cheaper options, buy a C30 or C60 wrecker, I am sure that size was the main issue, still...

I have been following your finds with great interest, they are appreciated, gives a good coverage, thank you.

Had a little drive in it today, just to turn around, lovely. Will be the last for a while, brakes are coming apart, need to get in there and sort out, I know these won't respond as well as the engine did.

Is resleeving of the master cylinder the only option, it is beyond honing, (however did hone out just to test the rest of the system, and got a good pedal, just not much braking), are master cylinders available?

Regards

Andy
