I think the web site is actually:
http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/
If it isn't the same company,they also sell a grease fitting as part # 107.

Default Hello all

Just a thought on the grease nipples - have you tried uncle Tim Vibert - the are similar to the later style used on Centurion, Ferret, Saracen etc. The main difference being in that the later pattern had a machined flange, often cut to the same profile as a bolt head near the screw in base.

You may have to do a little tweaking on the lathe or use then as is.

Also does anyone have a clear image of the toothed base - I think I may have found a broken one only days after this post was begun !



Cheers

Phill

Phil ,

Pics of this stuff isn't easy to find . BTW what is different about a "scout carrier" ?

I noticed your Austin K9 ..those are rare over here. I think a contemporary of the MRA1 .

Default Thanks

Thanks for the pic.

No what I picked up is something different again. might even be a base for a vice !

Mike - the scout carrier is the mirror reverse of the early original Mk1 British Bren Carrier, fitted with WS No 11, Boys Anti-tank Rifle, Bren Gun and crew of three. Seems to be the only one still in existence (so far) and it must have been one of the luckiest days of my life to stumble onto it in a Western Australian farm rubbish dump.

As for the K9 Austin, it seems to have been roughly the same model as Bob Dimer's Radio truck about 1952 I guess, but this one had the Steel GS/ Cargo body. mechanically complete and may even still run but the body is useful only for straining the tea leaves from the bottom of the billy !

Cheers

Phill
