OK, quite good of Google except the wedding, it should be translated to "best wishes"
It's what I thought. But Google is better than nothing

Hej Mark!
Tack för din förfrågan. Hela katalogen är mycket sparsamt illustrerad. Det som finns är annonser, men inte på fordon vad jag har sett vid en genombläddring.
Bästa häälsningar Ted / Bodafors Antikvariat
Which Google translates as
Hi Mark!
Thanks for your inquiry. The entire catalogue is very sparsely illustrated. What there are are ads, but not on vehicles as far as I've seen when browsing.
Best wedding receptions Ted / Bodafors AntikvariatSo that's a dead end

Swedish Postal office offer post & package outside EU for appr 250SEK (depending on size, max 2kg). I havent tried DHL or other options.
National freight cost additional 62SEK if you need help with a decoy
JDW hi,
I used that very same message box to ask my question 😉
If I bought every book that I want to check and see if it has any relevant photos inside, I would have no room in my house to sit and work on my project 🤣

Maybe somewhere, but as far as i can google, it was an open fair with a broad scope.
I found this book a few months ago. But I can't raise a response from the seller

@JDW Many thanks for the links, which I'll follow up on.
One of the problems with Google, is that even when I use Google.se to try and find things in Sweden - it tries to take me to local suppliers near me of whatever I'm searching for. The joke being that because I use a mobile phone network for my internet, it thinks I'm in London, or a couple of other UK cities where the Mobile network joins the wired phone service. So it's still hundreds of miles out.
Google seems to think that everyone is looking to buy the latest, rather than researching the past.
Yes, I'm aware of
KA 1 - https://vapenbroderna.se/om-ka-och-sk-ka/
KA 2 - www.ka2.se/KA 4 - https://gg-kamratforening.se/kamrat_museum/ and
KA 5 - https://www.ka5kamratforening.se/
None of the committee of all the Old comrades committees will talk to me, even to the point of not acknowledging emails and not reading Messenger on Facebook.
They're all ex officers, and have decided that because I'm asking about a vehicle built in Britain 60 years ago, which has been out of service in Sweden for 40 years then I must be a Russian spy as I'm asking about the latest technology. Never mind the fact that I used to drive them in Germany 40 years ago, and there's numerous books on the topic
Thankfully, I have one very helpful ex Battalion commander, and an ex Ordinary Ranks person who are being very helpful after 3 years of being ignored by all these committee members.

Wondering if anyone has photos of these nautical items, or can suggest a Swedish forum where members might have photos of the items.
Thank you

Packning is gasket, not washer used with a bolt and nut (it's har with synonyms)
I checked with the Alvis part numbers provided, and in this case it is washer - the bottom item on the image below.
I know that the exhaust gasket on the BV202 sheet is also Packning. All kind of confusing 😉

@JDW I was hoping to find a catalogue or article on the vehicles displayed in 1962. Would be nice to know which one it was

So page 2 looks like
And these - I can't read the M numbers on the original sheet - and wonder if anyone has a Tillbehörslista with the same items, so that I can check the items against the numbers - please

Ståndare in this case is probably a vertical metal bar to support tarpauline or roof over the bed.
The Mark 1 (101 B ) had height adjustable ridge pole, but the mark 2 (101 C ) had fixed support poles for the ridge pole, which were securely bolted to the relevant panels. Which made it odd to have the rear one on the list.
I had initially wondered if it was the front post, but get confused by the note saying that it's for the "Lanterna"
Page 2 of the provided Tillbehörslista is the most faded/unclear, so I wasn't sure of the numbers. I hadn't realised until earlier that the M numbers on the right are the same as the faded ones on the left - which I couldn't be sure of.
But the Ståndare's number is within the same group as the Skyddstak Canopy and its components. So strange that it's further down the page.
The front ridge pole post was disposed of when KA fitted the cranes from 1974 onwards, and welded a short post to the crane itself. So the Tillbehörslista is for the original.

@Vinkon many thanks
The SEPSOM 28 are snatch blocks https://www.sepson.se/products/snatch-blocks/
Re Domkraftförlängare -
The Stalwart comes with a wooden block for the jack to sit on. However, the advice in the British User handbook for a flat tyre is to drive the flat wheel onto the block, so that the double wishbone suspension is lifted high enough to get the jack underneath. But I think the standard British army hydraulic jack was bigger than the Swedish 5 ton jack.
Re the Pressning.
3 places down is Skyddstak, K. I think the K stands for "including" or "consisting of"
Under Skyddstak, K it has the rear upright for the ridgepole, the ridgepole - and kapell - which I'm told can also be canopy. So a bit confused
Re the Ståndare
I've not seen any photo so far with one of those navigation lights on, including after the 1974 (ish) refits when the KA fitted the cranes. But never say never when it comes to Stalwarts, and it could well be something like that.
Re Drivdorn
I presume it would say if it was a complete set of punches.
Would be great to find a catalogue of M tools, to see exactly which item is which.
Thanks

@JDW
Many thanks for your reply, which is really helpful. I did the translation, and then changed a couple of translations based on the items on the BV202 list that I translated previously, or which were clearly not what was suggested.But some translations still don't make 100% sense, despite my Googling for M numbers.
M1622-801510, Block, SEPSO-28-11, f 16 mm stållina. Is that a snatch block for the winch? Would anyone have any details or images of M1622-801510? What does SEPSO-28-11 mean, please?
,
With M6900-001000 Brytspett - I put Breaker bar due to the length. Does it mean breaker / crow bar?
Presuming that the jack is a small bottle jack, what is a
F1103-909111 Domkraftförlängn Jack extension?
Is
F3435-000407 Vridpinne a bar with a 1/2 inch socket? What is the standard Swedish wheel brace of the 1960s?
I'd presumed that M7040-001010 Presenning 3,5X4,5M was the canopy, due to it's size. But due to it's location in the list I now realise that it is not.
So what would M7040-001010 Presenning 3,5X4,5M be?
F1103-908121 Ståndare has me completely stumped. Google and Microsoft both suggest the translation of Stamen - which is part of a flower
Also M6220-008010 Drivdorn. If it is a metal Drive mandrel or Punch, then what size is M6220-008010
Many thanks for your help

Dear all,
I wonder if there is an illustrated catalogue of Swedish military tools and accessories, or at a least a catalogue with descriptions of items, please?
I've finally managed to track down a copy of the Tillbehörslista for the Amfibiebil 101 C. It's not the best copy, and whilst we can read the item name - we can't make out some of the numbers. There are also some things that are unknown.
I wonder if anyone would be able to correct any of the numbers that are bold in the table, please. And if you have photos or a list of descriptions for any of the items that that would be greatly appreciated.
I have photos of the items highlighted in green

Many thanks for your help.

Brief overview of the Amfibiebil 101 - The Alvis Stalwarts of Sweden’s Kustartilleri - 1962 - 1985
This publication is a brief overview of the 6x6 Alvis Stalwart in Sweden. It starts with the initial display, and shows where some ended up after their return to the UK.
There is a publication on it's way, with in-depth details of the Swedish version. Just waiting for some other information.

British amphibious vehicle awakens great interest.
The article also states that "the Swedes are interested in equipping their army and marine with this type of vehicles" and "the British defense authorities has shown interest, but no deal has been made. The vehicle is not in serial production".Again, many thanks.
The vehicle in your post is chassis number PV2. She was the first Swimming Stalwart, PV1 being an Alvis Salamander chassis with a basic drop side body fitted.
These images are all the same PV2 chassis, as it changed over time. The first image in 1960, the last with the crane in 1964

The Norwegian digital National library require that you have a Norwegian IP adress to view most newspapers and books, the same might be causing you problems in the Swedish digital newspaper library. Also, other articles require you to be present at a library to read them, your error message in pink states just that, you have to be in the Royal Library or one of very few others to read that particular article.
I made a quick search for Norwegian articles in the Norwegian digital National library, not much to find. One of few was this one:
Mostly information on the civilian version and all its capabilities.
(Note that the newspaper managed to spell "september" wrong.)
Kristaga, many thanks for the post, and your time.
I was lucky that two of the Newspapers are still in production, so was able to ask them directly. I then simply asked the Library to confirm my thoughts on the contents of the third one. So that's answered the issue of when Sweden saw the demonstration, and when they bought the first Stalwarts.
Thanks

Registreringsbevis
Or more commonly known as reg.bevis and regbevis.
Same name for both military and civilian document. Or possibly as MikaelD points out; with the prefix "military".
Many thanks, Vinkon

So I've finally seen one of these, which is similar to the British Army B card.
What do the Swedish call these cards please?
Than you

Doesn't it require you to register an account there in order to read the articles?
I'd registered an account. But it says that due to copyright, you can only view it in the actual library.
I've emailed them, and hope to get a response next week.
I also emailed Dagens Nyheter - (dn.se) who have kindly sent the article that I was interested in there

I'm a bit confused.
I saw that you can access old newspapers online for free, so I went to the tidningar website and searched for Alvis Stalwart and Amfibiebil 101https://tidningar.kb.se/?q=Alvis Stalwart&sort=asc
https://tidningar.kb.se/?q=amfibiebil 101&sort=asc&from=1960-01-02&to=2015-12-31
But it says that all these old newspapers from the 1960s that no longer exist, are all copyright protected.
I've been working on my Stalwart website, building a page that uses newspaper articles to date the development progress of the Stalwart.
https://sites.google.com/view/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-files/alvis-stalwart-hmlc-section/stalwart-timeline-evidence
Is there anyway that I can see the articles online, please?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does "St Erik's Fair, Stockholm" mean anything to anybody.
This is back in 1962, and I guess was either a military vehicle display for the public, or motor show of some sort?I wondered if there's any photo albums or film clips of the event at all?
Many thanks
ZF Air compressor manual, from the 1970s
i Övrigt - Everything else
Postad
I wonder if anyone has a manual or data for a ZF air compressor, from the 1970s?
I've asked ZF, who tell me that it was made by ZF-Lenksysteme (ZFLS) group in Germany. ZFLS was sold to Bosch.
I've phoned Bosch, and emailed their archive. But it's not looking promising.
It appears that the KA fitted these to the Amfibiebil 101s around 1974, and I wonder if they also fitted them to other trucks.
And the original compressor
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
