Hello there....you said you got your unimog in the 80s....do you still have it??? Or any others???

Im interrested in finding what happened to the daimler ferret scout cars from Canada....in 1954 they bought 124 of them....they used them until 1980-81 then disposed of them.....most went to the U.S. ....sold by a few dealers.....i know where a few are....and i know one dealer that scrapped...

Well have that project done....not to bad.....and i have the engine deck back on....a little slow doing that....working alone....you know....maybe im getting lazy......

Hi Johan....heres a photo of mine....may be a different bracket than your original....but as as long as it works....cool.

When i got my mog it didnt run exactly right....i will bet you i removed and cleaned the carb....oh lets say a hundred times....ill bet....then found a guy with a yard full of old mb cars....bought a distributor complete wires ect....never ran better....i never took the time...or had the brains...

Put the glue on the final part today....all looks well so far....i would much rather use original parts...but as time goes by....they are much harder to find....and then theres the price if can find them....this reproduction set may even look better than a new set...anyway im happy....be done soon.

I was witness to the scrapping of 4 crates of military vehicle parts from canada....long ago....the one i helped unpack was marked 11000 lbs. .....almost all the parts went to a dumpster headed to the dump....such a waste....long story....maybe another time....

It s a great thing to see that someone has a talent to be able to repair parts....i too would chuck them in the scrap bin....power to you mate...

We are all blessed with different things.....thankfully.
