Thanks folks. Biggest pain right now - apart from the fact the wiring loom resembles no other printed circuit diagram - is the interminable wait first to get prices out of the suppliers in the East - and then for deliveries!!

Sorted - I hope!! :D I had a nose around the web but cannot find a location for you! I'm East London......

If anyone is interested the full photo library to date is here: http://s34.photobucket.com/user/ArtistsRifles/library/UAZ%20469?sort=3&page=1 As of now head, side and tail lights are all working properly, a secondary number plate light has been fitted onto the jerry can holder to take a UK size...

Recently added a UAZ 469 to the fleet here to replace the Alvis Stalwart that had to be sold. Bargain price of £1,000 but in need of much care and attention. Work is ongoing - currently having fun sourcing indicator relay and hazard switch to complete the electricals but should be fun when...

Looks good :) Have fun with her - life will never ever be the same again!!

Did you mean Frank - or me?? :) I'll send the links to the files to that address and you can help yourselves!! I "think" with UK regulations it has to be a UK dealer but am not totally sure. Any deactivated weapon has to be sent to either the London or Birmingham Proof Houses to be...

PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the link to the manuals I have in electronic form. I have them up on dropbox and it will not let me generate a public URL for the folder, it has to be for a specific e-mail address.

Fitting rubber pads to the OT-90's tracks is not a quick or easy job. The only pads that will fit are BMP-2 ones. Last I heard they were about £16 each here in the UK with a month or two waiting list. And you have about 92 each side.... To fit them you (Lee, the owner) will need to jack the...

No worries :) The air system - you will (should) occasionally hear the off-load valve on the compressor popping off when the system is at maximum pressure. You may also hear a hiss from the control valves down by your left knee as they do leak slightly. There is a pneumatic release for the...

First off - congrats on the purchase! When you get it running the grins will be stuck on your faces as if by super glue :-) To answer the questions: I have some manuals - one in American English (censored by the CIA!!) - I think they are on a website somewhere, I'll check and if not then Ill...

Ummm - actually the BRDM-2 is what the cool kids buy because they can't join the ultra cool BMP class owners!! :-D

I looked at one recently - first issue is if you are over 5'6 and not of slim to medium build it will be VERY uncomfortable behind the wheel. Driving visibility as dire too - definitely a 2-man job to move on the road. Mechanically complex as you might expect - everything is waterproofed as...

Looks like I'm about to join the throng of UAZ 469 owners... What's in line is far from pristine though - I'll need to be doing a fair bit of work: However - it was running reliably when laid up and is already registered in the UK thus sparing me the nightmares of having to deal with VOSA...

Bear in mind the pressure gauge is reading in atmospheres, not Kg/cm3. IIRC - fully charged the BMP system is sitting at around the 2200 psi mark - not something you want to have a weakness in...

Found this on YouTube - the development story of the BMP-1! Got some good footage of the other design contenders for the project as well as footage of how the Soviets deployed into water (and a good description of how a BMP-1 swims). ‪Design history of BMP-1‬‏ - YouTube

Thanks for the nice words Dave! :-P I must point out though, that the credit really has to got to go to Suvarov and his colleagues over at www . russianarms . su All I did was make it usable for those who cannot get the DJVu reader to work OK. Look forwards to seeing you at Beltring too Dave.

OK - we've now got the bugs sorted out in getting it viewable on Macs so if anyone else needs a parts catalog drop me a PM.

PM sent with details :)

I had that using Google Chrome - had to switch to FireFox to get the numbers to read OK! The actual file is in the region of 18 Mb - too big to dens via e-mail. I'll upload it to my web site today and post the link here for you - will that be OK??

Oops - sorry - must have forgotten to ad the URL's - this getting old is a terrible thing!! :oops: OK - the root for the documentation is: http://www.russianarms.su/index.php?topic=3.0 (??????????? ?????????? 2011. ?????? ????!) The specific link for the BMP parts manual is...
