Good Ergo info Dean. Love the AEC Fleet Planner: a veritable treasure chest!
coomsey:
“DEANB” The best bit about that story “coomsey” is the fact that you knew it was a 6 berth caravan !!! Classic never knew you were a caravan anorak Caravan?Sooner stop at home
one thing for sure it wasn’t a 6 berth after I’d done with it, mind you my old gal ended up 1/2 cab. I always thought the Ergo cab was a fair cab in its day, not so sure about climbing aboard with out using your hands mind cheers coomsey
Geordielad:
The Ergomatic quick tilt shown in the brochure had to be revised, two large bolts were fitted at the rear of the cab both sides and had to be removed before going through the rest of the sequence. There had been a number of accidents where the cab had tilted during driving and injured and even killed drivers so a more secure way of retaining the cab was needed. It was though an easy cab to tilt, the torsion bar system saving a lot of effort as long as you remembered to tip the drivers seat forward first. Those brochure pics of new vehicles reminded me of my apprenticeship days and its strange how the smell of a new vehicle comes back when reading and seeing these pictures again. Franky.
Intresting stuff Franky thanks for the info on the bolts.

Thanks for the comments and pic of the F10 “steelboyf10”
Off topic i believe the start of “DAD’s Army” where they are walking through
a forest was filmed around Thetford.
tyneside:
Hi Franky
IIRC the locking bolt heads looked like a wheel nut welded onto the bolt. A wheel brace and an extension that reached under the cab were supplied with new Albions.

Cheers “tyneside”

Interesting that the wording is the “the most economical oiler”. What ever would they have made of today’s fuel prices.
