another Aussie humber fv1601

Pick head Brkt, and the last is the top rifle mount. Will fit the driver side with no issues, but they are a pain on the passenger side.
There should be a set of brackets on the side passenger of the tub as well, you will never guess what they were for.
Roof rust like yours is not rare, as well as inside the centre vent, and around the battery box etc.
You could always paint it back to the red, with all the markings, it probably spent more time red than green, and will be waaaay faster.
Be interesting to see if you can unearth the markings on the bonnet, hope it's not too late for wet&dry with plenty of water. As a side note, don't let anyone sit on the either of the bonnets, you will end up a major bumdent.....

Dave Mills is on MLU, you can contact him via Private Message, or he may turn up with some prompting.
Tim may well have another bridge plate, worth asking. They are all pretty much the same, the last ones I got from him had Leyland packaging.
There was a simple bracket made of flat metal strip bent to suit, to come out the same distance as the headlight surround.
Check your photo's are not too big, the manage attachment screen will show maximums.

Rich ,The brackets on the side of tub are something to do with the canvas frame or so arent they, carrying pole like things?.
.303 is fairly basic bracket thought it may have been bit more intricate i have a kiwi one similar on NZ landy dash.
im hoping to reveal some markings but someone has been a bit heavy handed with a drill type sanding disc not very effective but enough to butcher things a bit,suspect it may have been rubbed down prior to red paint and maybe just taken any high spots EG markings off only thing i can see is marker pen type quick scrawl 911d written on lhs door may be an auction marking?

Hi John.
No I don't think that was Norm's CMP, he lives up near the Wally Deli in Walliston. I said Kalamunda, but it's Walliston.

Glad that the club info was of help.

John, will be following your project

Regards, Dave

The brackets over the rear passenger wheel where intended for a crowbar,(Took me years to find this out) but I have yet to find any record of them being supplied with one. I use them to carry the flat sections of the canvas framework, as there is no provision to store them with the rest of the frame.
In answer to an earlier question re colour, most of the Humber's I have seen do seem to have been overpainted at some stage with the dull, darker green. Champs had the same fate.
