super6 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Looks fab albeit drafty, no spare wheel? What are the items in the rear locker, suction pipe and canvas bucket I see, CUP 4 I presume means 4 cups! but what of the other tinned items?

64EK26 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Nice looking truck Good to see original pumps and filters. (I am looking for these for my MWC restoration) . Are they Stellar or Meta filters ? Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 RICHARD thank you but must come clean l made the pumps and filters I have researched these items both those made in the uk and those made under licence by different companies in Canada these I made thanks to a very good friend lending me his fabrication workshop his machines and also his scrap bins out of hours some things like the filter body tubes l had to roll to get the right diameter the cones were easy in all they took 24 hours to make two pumps and filters they are all made from steel 3mm thick brass taps were bought l am now looking at casting the makers plates in aluminium not all the Canadian ones had either stella or metafilter plates fitted l could not even buy a original pump for what these cost to make and l would recommend any one looking for originals have a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
