Cant quite read it 3280076 but not certain?

Not sure which section to put this in? As some of you know my son has a strange addiction, he collects Britool tools pre the Blue handle ratchets, so pre 80's ish (He started with just sockets but now will buy a Plastic bag with Britool on it!)Here is my son's latest purchase its his first Hex drive set for his collection, he bought it as it looks to be complete and we have never seen another.It looks to be from WW2?We also wonder what the long spanner type thing is? I wondered if it was a tool kit for a military vehicle? Found this on line "Demand for Britool’s products grew between the 2 World Wars; indeed, Britool was the principal supplier of tools to the British armed forces, during the Second World War, supplying over 200 million wrenches, sockets and accessories."

I too have seen this, [plastic bungs left in a brand new pump

An update I got the two from Paul, on reflection it was too difficult to make a 24v heater run in a 12v vehicle so these have been passed on to a good friend of mine for his truck. I bought a Chinese one for £172 delivered and I cant fault it, worked straight from the box, well made and working well. My mate has a 12v Petrol one if ant one is looking for one? Its the usual story I coolant find one then loads come out of the wood work.

Might be worth asking here http://www.classic-british-car-jacks.uk Nice bloke on Retro rides restores German made ones too

Here are 4 James ML spanners James ML M.55 James ML M.56 James ML M.57 James ML M.57 £40 the lot posted

Now I know nothing about these, but how much more for a good one? Some times its just cheaper to buy one needed less work as costs mount up. One thing I didn't think about was cost of driving to and from storage!

Thanks Bill I am buying some used ones from Paul so that will be handy.

Another thing I didn't know

Well I can't believe the progress you have made already! Never heard of a flat Meadows engine until now.

Thanks PM on the way

I have restored a few Epco's in the past and nothing looks to be Epco style on it? My usual port of call is here http://www.classic-british-car-jacks.uk Or Garage journal have an excellent section too https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197787

Any one know much about them? I want a heater that can be on whilst driving in my motor home? I wondered if the EBERSPACHER type can be used? Any idea what the Chinese ones are like? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5000W-12V-Fuel-Diesel-Air-Heater-5-KW-For-PLANAR-Car-Truck-Motor-Homes-Bus-Boat/322973335893?hash=item4b32b60155:g:3Z4AAOSwYxBaSwGW

A chance conversation at a car boot sale, I had a sprung seat in my hand he told me it may have been a Lino type material?

Very nice find

Lauren its yours Would you collect or shall I post?

Om its a shame to take it to the Autojumble and it end up on a shelf if some one needs one

Thanks Andy I am open to offers as it may aswell clutter some one else collectable cabinet rather than mine and it would be one less thing to take to the Autojumble

I wonder what the difference is? Would more pictures help?
