Wanted - Snorkel for a Humber FV1601A 1 ton

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

Rick,
the bottom inlet is cast aluminium and part of the wading kit, however, using the original steel inlet reversed to face up looks fine. I only know one person who would pick it as not being correct, and as he is such a gentleman, I am sure it would not be mentioned.
153 Humbers in the Australian Army, 3 Snorkels that I know of (possibly 4) so there must be a truckload of them somewhere. I am also on the lookout for 2 more, for interested parties......
I think the snorkel is a rare item in the UK as well, I know several Humber owners over there who have never seen one
As for hood bows, even the Humber King at Stawell does not have a full set. I assume you have the front bar with the storage brackets? These seem to survive on the truck,( Russel may have one of these spare), then it is a matter of matching the hoop part three more times. The rest of the bars are in 2 parts, including the FLAT section for the sides (These seem to go missing first).


This is what Rick needs:
Just noticed that the hood bow pic is not complete, but the only one I have of it naked. Missing are a set of the flats for the other side, and one set of the pipes running front to back.
