Hi Peter,
Your instructions worked a treat. It is now all in English.
Takes all the challenge out of posting. In time my Dutch would have improved.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Hi, My fuel filler neck arrived today from Bob Fulcher. It is a very nice peice of craftsman ship. When it comes to repo GPA parts I am not interested unless they are identical to the originals. When I heard David and Bob were going to try and make them from photos I must admit I was concerned. In m...

Hi, I agree with Jan. On my first GPA I found many of the hangers were loose where the rubber had compressed. I wanted to be able to easily tighten these as ever thing settled in. For this reason I to uesed Nyloc nuts. At a casual glance they are not obvious. Its a difficult decision if you are want...

Hi Ian, I hope all is well with you. On my first GPA I decided to sand blast it first. Main because the burning paint work was a killer. This time there is not that much paint left on her. The are two other disadvantages with sand blasting early on:- 1) They start to rust too quickly, and force you ...

Happy New Year. With a couple of weeks off over Christmas I am at last getting some body work done on my GPA. Nothing like getting back into practice with a MIG welder and an angle grinder. One tends to forget (With good reason) Just how long it takes to weld up holes in a GPA. Repairs to the bow ar...

Once again I have been busy making some parts for my GPA. Having only one original pump bracket I decided to make the missing one. I have done a few extra,s just in case. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/richardfs/153_5345.jpg If you would like a set of 2pcs they are $180.00 US for the two + sh...

Hi David,
I am looking forward to seeing those photos.

It looked to be a "Fun" part to make. :roll:

Hi Leo, Regarding you frame stamping being faint. I had the same problem on the GP iI recently restored. If I repainted the frame the original number would have been gone. So I borrowed a small air engraving tool from my work and a tiny milling tool. This tool was the same width as the original stam...

Hi Michael,
This small frame bracket I have not produced.
The only one I have available is the Spring mount bracket.
I think its a fabrication job.

Hi Tony, I think this was an age old problem with the GPW as well. The Australian army got round the problem on them by putting a bracket with a whole heap of holes drilled in to it that spaced the cable away from the fire wall. I must admit I like the solution of putting a spacer inside the hand br...

Hi Daniel, My under standing is that you are describing the pulley on the back of the trans case, I feel you basicly have the right idea. If it was mine I would remove the four old rivits and remove the pulley. Then you can inspect how badly the hub holes have elongated. If they are not bad drill th...

Hi Mithril,
I will be making the screens shortly.
I have a good sample and drawings are already done.
I will keep you posted.
