Hi John, I spoke to Phil (Oztankboy) about 4 years ago at Corowa, asking him for a list of what he wanted to get rid of in regard to his Humber parts, he seemed keen, but I never heard back, even with a follow up e-mail. I note he has not visited MLU for two years.
He was the first person to see my Humber that actually new anything about them, gave me a few pointers too. Hope all is OK with him.

Hi Rich,yeah i was wondering that too as he just seemed to drop off any more posts etc,just thought you guys may have been closer and knew a bit more.
Checked chassis and brackets/holes and stuff there but no convoy light, but will worry about that a bit further down the track as there is still a mountain of work to do just on the mechanical side of things(i need to retire just to have the time to finish this off!). You must have worked BLOODY hard to get yours on the road in 4 months back when you bought it.

Dave,missus couldnt find your details till today,sorry, but she has paid it in to your Acc No, so you should be right,thanks again Dave, i will be fitting these last few items shortly.
I started on the rear tub last weekend ,just a few small patches to weld up on tub where guards bolt on and the same on the guards themselves,but all in all its pretty good P.O had it sandblasted but was very solid,more just shitty paint that needed removing i think he said,he called in on sunday and was real happy to see it moving forward as he said it hadnt been touched in about 15 years under his ownership after the initial flurry of activity when he first bought it.

Wish it were true!
From memory it was about 9 months to get it on the road, and another 8 years (and still going) of fettling.
