I don't have a photo to prove it But was dropping my boy at Melbourne airport and Princess in her not so kindest voice exclaimed "would you look at that" So I did look and then got into trouble for looking Anyway the view was a lady with a dress on the was shorter around the waist than most mens shirts, bent over attaching the label's to her luggage I made a remark about the possibility of seeing bearded clam, than was informed by the Princess the clam was infact un bearded Wonders will never cease Paul

Is that even possible ?? Paul

Have you tried the ACMOC forum If still stuck, sing out and I'll make some enquiries I'm sort of more used to doing things by feel, butb will find out the actual measurements if you get stuck Paul

Just pick one job Bob, start there I always pick the worst job first, that way everything is getting better from there Doors are looking good I can spend a lot of time with almost zero result on windows and window winding mechanisms Paul

I could agree with you but that would mean that over 95% of the world's population is wrong I guess a lot depends on what we have been exposed to during our lives Paul

Oh you Americans are so far backwards compared to the rest of the world when it comes to jerry cans I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at how a country as advanced as America can be so far backwards with jerry cans compared to the rest of the world Sorry I know I'm gunna piss most of you off, but it really is true The genuine style steel jerry can is so simple and so smart and the chances of spilling fuel so small when using the correct funnel The correct style of clip on spout, air breather standard and fuel rushes out in under a minute They come in 3 sizes, 20 litre is the most common size 1 gallon, 2 gallon (2.5 U.S. gallons) and 4 gallons (5 U.S. gallons) These jerry cans are the standard the world over, except north America Even when they are full of fuel you can float them in water, they are painted inside and out so they don't rust, they do eventually And as far as the modern plastic rubbish goes, well I'll just leave it as what it is I doubt they'll last 40 years or more and most have a crappy filler funnel thing Off to the naughty corner Paul

Didn't have all day, but I did check it out I'm guessing the mid to late 60's with it's white wall tyres and chrome budd rims very impressive stuff And out on the highway, hardly another vehicle to be seen, unless it was a test track Shame the colour didn't survive in good order, but we are lucky to have just that bit of film survive Is there promo films for conventional cab Brockways ? Oh and I dunno if it was just the film or not but in Australia a COE is always called a "cabover" as the one word, even in the old brochures Funny how different countries use different ways of describing things YouTube may get a search today Paul

From what I understand (not much at all) diesels start on full noise and governor pulls them back to control the revs So with this in mind I think the governor might be the issue and not the rack Paul

Okay you jokers, you all need to have a look see This was a bloody good film, colour has all gone a bit,but still a good watch Is there any other Brockway films like this ? Paul

Was a good watch, Jerry cans were called that because that was the slang name for Germans in WW1 and they invented the Jerry can The American copied Jerry can is a absolute balls up disaster and no one out side of America can work out how the U.S. got it so wrong Especially when the U.S. got so many other things so right during WW2 For the U.S. people on here, the filler pooring cap hole is the main issue, it's to big, doesn't fit anything properly except the silly U.S. funnel and can't be used with any other jerry can The rest of the world uses a copy of the German Jerry can so everything can be interchangeable and you can grab fuel were you find it The U.S. jerry can was so bad of a design that something like 20% of all fuel carted in WW2 in jerry cans spilt Pretty sure the U.S. persisted with their ballsed up design well after the Vietnam war Good youtube clip, really enjoyed it Paul

A very different attitude today as far as taking time off when crook or with a busted bone Everyone wants to push it to the limit with the amount of time off, very different than how I grew up, having a sicky was and still is frowned upon in my family, in the older parts if my family anyway Younger people "pull a sicky" as they say for any B.S. reason Only sick days I have had was when I broke my back and wrist Back working full time in 4 weeks So lucky to have all this history Paul

I lost a nut and used a 3/8 nut, pretty sure the that the nut was a special deep acorn type of deal and normal one wont work, been a few years now Paul

Does a DM have the foot vent on the drivers side ? I stuffed about getting the one on my truck working only to discover that the air cleaner stopped it working ha ha ha Paul
