Still haven't done the head yet . I will wait till the winter when ' Berty ' is off the road . Runs fine except for the low compression on 1 cylinder and a bit of chuffing . It will be a Turner gas flow head that I use .



This is stunning matey a credit to you Thumbs Up

Cheers Kev

It a 1956 Brockhouse AFS fire tender, and was released from the Home Office in 1997.
It went to a museum for a few years, then owned buy a chap who towed it behind a GG, until it fell into my hands.
They were basically relics from the Cold War, and we're never used.
It's a real time warp piece of kit, pumps huge volumes of water from twin hoses.

Run by a 4 cylinder Coventry Climax 1275cc, with Magneto ignition. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
