What help do you need?

Excellent photos and description. I see the gearbox casing has the letters PRM cast into it; from my research going through the Geo Monro drawings at MERL PRM stands for Percy Riley Motors of Coventry. They carried out avariety of work for Geo Monro and some drawings have PRM on them, there is also a document detailing parts made by PRM, and others supplied by Geo Monro and finished by PRM.

No need for any change to forum/website as the facility exists.
If you go to your user details you can set the system to send you various notifications, one of which is when you have a new message. It is under ‘settings’ then ‘notifications’.

The need for RTA insurance came about due to changes in the Road Traffic Act. This made areas such as rally field a ‘public place’ and motor vehicles therefore need the correct insurance, you do not need vehicle to be registered nor do you need tax as it is not a highway.
Beware some insurance company staff are not fully aware of what is required and what is not eg registration number. You can insure using vehicle serial number, chassis number etc.

We did cover the skimmers in an article in the club magazine, so very much of interest to members.

Sam I have sent you an e mail with a few members details from the club directory.

As I said before which model of gearbox is it as I may have a manual. I think it should have the type on the casing somewhere.

[charlie]

The gearbox is like a motorcycle gearbox and the handle is in effect the kick start.

[charlie]

Which model of Albion gearbox does it have? I may have a parts list or manual.

Could it be for the Trusty Earthquake?

[charlie]

Is it built from an old car or is it a Bristol crawler? Photos would help, note limit (3072KB) on photo size when uploading.

I dispute the claim about ‘a new tool’ it is the old Terrex spade under a new name.

Have you considered marking everything with ‘smart water’ type technology eg Select DNA, as per FBHVC article in The Cultivator some time ago. It may not prevent theft but it will enable items to be identified. The signs warning that items are marked should be a deterent.

[charlie]

Al you need to do now Geoff is put all this into an article (serialised) for The Cultivator.

Hope to arrive Friday if all goes to plan.
