Water Bowser Hand Pump Parts
 

Looking for the top cap off the hand pump for the british 200 gallon water tank (as fitted to the Bedford MWC, Morris CS8 and Chevrolet C15), in the unlikely event that anybody has one.

Note must be off the british-manufactured pump. Although the top cap off the Canadian one looks identical, the thread where it screws onto the pump body is different! So much for standardisation. :bang:

Thanks,
Owen.

Hi
Good luck but it's like searching for the proverbial. A chap on the hmvf is into the ww2 water trailers and the accessories , the filters and pumps are scarce items

Hi Mike,

Yes I know, unfortunately. I've recently been lucky enough to obtain two serviceable hand pumps, but am missing the top cap from one. I will probably need to look at fabricating a top cap, but thought I'd give MLU a try first on the off-chance. All the components that make up the hand pumps are cast brass, and having felt the weight of them it's easy to understand why they are so difficult to find; methinks the post-war scrap merchants did very well out of them! :(

Owen.
