I got a box full of second hand cutouts, not sure if they'll be any good, but before they go in the bin i thought i's ask what they are. Also a load of switchs, all marked Air ministry.

Some gauges i don't recognise, the speedo has a toggle switch at the back for the illumination.

Hi John,

I see 7AL on the fan belt, that is Albion. Cannot read the label on pistons

[John A. Rippingham]

Hello Richard,

I thought you'd smell the cosmoline, thanks for taking the time to look.

So the fan belts are Albion, hmmmm i have 30 of these, with 2 in each box, and i guess i'll be lucky if theres two Albions left. Oh well the boxes are nice!!!

The label on the pistons reads,

61.ms 204399 + .020"
piston assembly
(.020"o/s) (V8480/20)

Hello,

The large lucas headlamp with side supports is for a Morris or Humber, confirmed by a morris expert who bought the headlamp for one of his projects.

Jared I've tried to email you back but it just keeps bouncing back. Sorry the headlamp had sold by the time i got your email. If any more turn up i will give you first refusal on them, thanks for your help.

Hello,

I've searched the ford piston part number online, and MACs have them listed as ford V8.

Here's the gaskets i got, and some pictures of the newspaper that was in the box.

Hello John,

The head gaskets are for Post War (1945) 59A onwards until 1948 Ford Flatheads. They are marked "100HP"

As shown in attached photo the earlier head gaskets had a trapezoidal hole in the centre whereas the later gaskets had a round hold which reflects the difference in the cooling chamber shape at the deck of the block of the earlier vs later flatheads.

Cheers,

Hello Jacques,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, and putting the pictures up. The news paper that was in the box was dated 17th July 1944, but i guess there's nothing to say that paper was from the day it was packed. Thanks again for your time.

The headlight in post #5 is for Dodge M37 as Rob says.

That headlight bucket is very similar to a Morris Bosch CVA headlight , it probably is CVA brand but : I have a couple of those same loyd-matilda tank headlights myself and the brass mounts attached to the bucket are in a different location to the Morris bucket . The Morris bucket has the mount castings attached slightly farther back by an inch or so . I can post pics

The speedo looks like a civilian white motors from 40s
