Exciting times. The MVT (Military Vehicles Trust) has moved very quickly in arranging their inspection visit. Just one week from posting off the letter, photos and supporting information I received a call from their Suffolk area verifying inspector. No problems, "..can I visit tomorrow?". So, a phone call made and yes, he can! The up-shot is he visited today, seemed happy and is content to confirm that 519 was manufactured in 1954/55. So his report now returns to the MVT verification people and I await the next chapter, where presumably I get a letter to send to the DVLA accompanied by the V5.
On the brakes front, the rear brake wheel cylinders are done! It has taken a while since not only have the cylinders been relined in stainless steel, but they had to re-manufacture the pistons in stainless steel too as the previous aluminium ones had corroded beyond recognition. Expensive but hopefully a once only job. Just the master cylinder to do now - I could probably get away with it but if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. I guess, too, I'll have to get used to paying more to get parts made - unlike Bedford RLs, parts for Q4s seem to be thin on the ground!
