Have you seen this thread? Looks like it was owned by a member called Peak1 from Sheffield back then. Don't know if they are still active on here though?

Probably not military, but this picture has been posted on the local Then and Now Facebook page. Can anyone identify the 1921 truck? https://www.facebook.com/groups/bristolthenandnow/permalink/1421639378041427/

Their Facebook page says "Due to COVID the Heartland Museum will be closed until 11/12/2020. Sadly, the Veterans' Day Parade will be canceled this year. Stay safe!" https://www.facebook.com/heartlandmuseum/

How strange!! Could you make up a puller to remove the bushes using the internal thread?

I'm really puzzled by the internal thread in the gudgeon pins. Don't recall seeing anything like that before, and can't see any purpose to having it there, especially if they are pressed in. The brass ends of the pins look to be very big in relation to the pistons and con rods, so I'm wondering if they are just end caps or bushes? Something like this: https://blog.wiseco.com/what-are-wrist-pin-buttons Could the brass ends be externally threaded too, and held in place with the split pins? The internal thread could be there to facilitate installing them. Not sure how they could be go

Loads of info available on Google.
