Hi Alen!

Well some of the pipeing is for the engine oil cooler. Then seeing the vehicle is semi submergeable just about everything has a breather and or grease nipple.

One good part with them because of their design many parts are interchangable with other vehicles... champ, ferret etc

eg
*brake components (drums,shoes etc) Humber <--> Ferret
*engine (most of it) Humber <---> Ferret
*engine bolt ons (water pump, starter etc) Humber <-> Ferret <-> champ <-> and RR "B" series engined item.
*electrical items & fittings (instrament cluster, lights etc) Humber <-> Champ, Ferret, etc and even some items off 101" Landrovers and other ex-milt Landrovers.

As far as I know most other most other parts like diff, gearbox, body work etc are prity much unique to the FV1600 series vehicles.

Oh by the way I noticed that your grill is battle dammaged... well I happen to have a couple of NOS 1's

If you want to chat about Humber things let me know and i'll pass on my phone number to you.

Phil...
