Goodmorning Clive, thanks for the offered help so far. Currently I need to fix my other vehicle (Land Rover Lightweight) in order to have an MOT after changing the chassis. When this is finished, I can work again on the Humber. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks, Hans

All, a brief update on my rear axle problems. I managed to obtain a rear and front axle for my Humber Pig. However these axles are not in such a state that I can just swap them and start driving around. I need to disassemble them and make one usable rear axle out of two. Now the problem kicks in, I do not have any documentation how the rear axle is to be disassembled and re-assembled again. Is there a possibility to get some kind of documentation for this? Even a cut away drawing of the rear axle would be very helpful. If anybody can be of some help here? Many thanks, Hans

Hello Clive,

here it is.

Very interesting to see some of the history of this vehicle, thanks!

Hans do you want to buy the axles?

I just sent a personal message

Clive, I managed to get some kind of readable picture of the chassisplate

Goodmorning Clive, thanks for the reply. I have checked the chassis plate and found the following data:

contract nr: 6/VEH/27210

MK2

1953

Chassis nr: 33144

FV1612A

I tried to make a picture, but the plate is a a bad state, the figures are very hard to read.

I hope it helps, Hans

If you can introduce me to him, I really apricate this, thanks, Hans

There is a guy in the south of England who just saved some Humber pig axles. I'm friends with him on Facebook and can make an introduction

 

Hello Robin, I just just the FB group Humber Pig Humber 1 tom enth grou

Hello all, I am Hans and I live in The Netherlands. I own a LR Lighweight and a humber pig. The LR had a chassis swap to a galvanized version and now waiting for the legalisation. The humber is next to restore. It has several issues, the most critical are the rear axle and the rustet fuel tank. For the rear axle I try to solve the issue with tailor made drive shatfts between diff and hubs. The fueltank is derusted and treated inside with a special coating. The engine runs very well. The interior is in a bad state, so plenty of work to be done.

My name is Hans and I live in The Netherlands. I recently bought a Humber Pig. It drives well, but only 1 rear wheel is driven. On the RH side the shaft between diff and wheel drive is in bits and pieces. Now I try to replace the original shaft for a modern version made from two homokinetics. De original part from the wheel hub and the part from the diff will be reused for this. At least, this is the plan.  Does anybody know whether this has been done before?

And are ther usefull tips to get the part out of the diff? The part from the hub was easy to get out.

My car data:

vehicle nr: 31BK44, FV1612A, chassis nr 33144

Thanks, Hans
