    Hi evryone, my A108 came into England in November apparently and i bought it in January, i've been doing all the usual stuff to reserect it after 17 years of not being used ,
    When i dropped the belly pan off to do the master cylinder there was an aluminum mushroom shaped thing bolted to the belly pan, so i ran a new earth wire into it (the original was broken) and it's an old style siren like in the 40's and 50's movies , yes it's going back on !
    This got me thinking about what my van used to be , it's an 8 door with windows in the back doors , it's never had lights on the roof and never had any sign writing on it ( it's still in the original white paint) it came out of Paradise CA and at some point was in a flood (there was a tide mark in the headlight trims and inside the rear corners ) i'll find out the American owners name in case any of you know him , If old trucks could talk eh !
    Cheers

    Just a thought but it could have been an old style auto alarm.

    Ha ha emergency beer ! Mine van is still in it's original paint and hasn't got any signs of logos or sign writing, hasn't had the roof drilled for lights either, i think somebody just fancied having an old siren on the van , sorry i haven't posted pics yet , my father is terminally ill with cancer so i haven't been on the internet much , i'll get some pics soon though
