Mystery parts help.

Something else electrical,

[John A. Rippingham]

And some gaskets, austin, morris but does anyone recogine the one without a label?

[John A. Rippingham]

And a starting handle? Maybe Austin?

[Robin Craig]

Not to go against what has already been said but the large headlight is M37 as Rob has said but it was also found on some Canadian Ferrets at times.

Hi John,
The gasket with out a label looks very similar to a MB/GPW L head motor gasket. There are a few slight differences, but very close. If you google mb/gpw head gaske you'll see. I'm sure a jeep shouldn't be too hard to find over there to compare to!

Cheers,
Ian.

John, the second photo looks to have 6 diodes???, so my guess is a bridge rectifier??? (converts AC to DC) Just a guess.

John.

Any useful information on the package label for that electrical part?

David

[David Dunlop]

John.

I agree with Ian's observations on the label less head gasket. It I recall, that particular engine also served as a stationary power plant for a lot of wartime and post war equipment, so may have an application with some of that equipment.

Cheers,


David

The speedo in post #10 looks like the one for the Hillman Utility.
Partnumbers : P42266 MT1/SM/53142/27

[John A. Rippingham]

Hello Freek,

Nearly right,i think they are pst war hillman minx with them having the KMP/h on.
Should a hillman tilly have the toggle switch?

Thanks
John

[Freek Loggen]

The face looks wartime to me. I've just checked the handbooks, and YES...they do show the speed in MILES and KM.
Remember that the Tilly's were infact civilian in design and construction.
Allthough the Hillman Minx used the same design meters postwar.

[John A. Rippingham]

I've checked my books to and you are correct, thank you for pointing this out.
So what are these other speedos, austin tilly?

[John A. Rippingham]

Some other bits i've come across,
Lanyards and brushes? Wartime date on the lead weight the brushes are 2 1/4 diameter 4 inches long, a seat, and some pumps.

[John A. Rippingham]

A wartime dated crow bar, 47"long, to long for a carrier!!

John, the pull throughs are for guns. I'd be interested and the crowbar if for sale!

Another speedo, i'd put to one side and forrgotten about, packed december 1944

[tankbarrell]

Very early M4 and M4A1 Sherman. Would fit M3 and presumably Ram too.

[John A. Rippingham]

A couple more mystery items I've come across.

The smaller box spanner in the picture is the 3" ford hub spanner.

I think the steering wheel is possibly Austin?

A fuel pump that was once fastened to the side of a refueler that came off an american airbase.
