Thank you both.

Can anyone identify the type of vehicle, and use of the array on top?  Possibly of RAF origin.  This is as good as I can find, sorry about that.

Is it a clip to keep the lid on a paint tin?

Bloody hell!! yes it certainly does look like one.  I spent hours trawling through the various manuals etc searching LOL.  It just needed a different pair of eyes looking at it.  Thanks you so much.  Ha ha ha and the better thing is I don't need a new one!  I wonder how long that clip had been kicking round in that bell housing?  How many owners ago was it?  I will never know.

Hi again fellas.  I am still sorting out the various bits and pieces and can actually feel like I am making some progress.  I found this piece of metal behind the flywheel, and it looks as if it has had a bad time.  I have searched the manual and looked at lots of online stuff but cannot find anything that it might be.  Can anyone on here help?  It looks like a I need a new one for  somewhere but until I can find out a description I am stumped.  Thanks, Nigel.

Never saw a bolt head like that when I rebuilt my jeep, I would say the other box

Thanks a lot Steve.  I did wonder if it was one of the other various obvious 'foreigners' I have come across.

OK, I have had a couple of days off sorting through boxes.  So far the main one  I have not been able to place is this.  Again, is it from a jeep, or should it be put in the 'other' box?

Thank you very much.

Is this the same item as the one in your link Chris? 

Another question from todays sorting through boxes.  What is this part?   It looks like it should be an engine or transmission support but I cant find it anywhere in the book.   Unless it is from a totally different vehicle and that is not impossible.  Thanks again for any assistance.

Thanks very much for those two leads Chris(?) and Nick, absolutely just what I am looking for.

Ok guys, as a complete novice I could do with a pointer as to where I could get a list of all the correct nuts and bolts etc I will need for some rebuilding of the jeep I have just got.  I have the bible 'complete WW2 military jeep manual' but this seems to miss out the details of lengths, sizes, threads etc.  I guess there are some other technical bulletins not covered by this manual.  Can any of you help?  Thanks.

Hiya fellas,

I am a totally new guy to things military and historical but I have just taken ownership (but not delivery) of an - inevitable, 2ndWW Willys jeep.  I will no doubt be seeking help in due course - quite possibly a lot of help!! 🙂

Nigel.
