Last 3 photos of break pipes.
Turning back along chassis
Rear end looking back from under gearbox (poor focus sorry)
Rear end from under back.
I carn't get fuel pipe shots for you as all fuel pipes and filters have been removed and a hose run under the engine cover to the pasenger foot well where it must have been put into a jerry can when it was last used.

Default A thing of beauty, isn't it?

The pair of brake pipes running across the gearbox cross member are secured with a double clip at the centre.
And the large-ish pipe you can see is the rubber vacuum hose for the brake booster.
It's interesting to see what a thorough job was done when it was painted deep bronze green by the army. They certainly got into all the nooks and crannies.

Incidentally this is as far as I can remember the only cab 12 I have seen in that colour (indicating extended post-war use). They are of course normally seen in very faded khaki, sometimes with a camouflage colour underneath the top coat.

It's not at all unusual to find cab 13s in this colour, particularly specialist vehicles such as wireless signals, tippers, workshop and gun tractors.

Has anyone else come across a cab 12 in deep bronze green?

Default Brake Brass block

Hi Tony

Do you have the brass spliter block that goes on the rear of the master cyclinder?? It has three outlets for all the brake lines to connect into. I have a spare one if you require it. I also ended up with a couple of spare master cylinder's and the mounting bracket's if anyone needs them.

Sorry chaps! Im back. Apologies for the delay in transmission.

Thanks Tim, I do have one of those splitter blocks you're refering to. VERY grateful for the kind offer however.

Keith & Robert can't thank you enough! INVALUABLE to say the least. Seems I may make some progress this weekend.

One question, Ive got a dirty big bit of angle iron welded behind that last chassis cross brace (towards the back) is it part of the old winch assy or is it a genuine Holgate accessory??

Tony that sounds very much like a Holgate special if it's as you describe. Didn't yours have the rear fairleads still in place?
