This is the holder for the Oil Can David is refering to from a Daimler Armoured Car but every manufactuer produced their own designs. It should have a spring which hooks over the top to secure the can.
Ian V Hogg makes reference in his book British & American Artillery of WW2 to an 8 Pounder Anti-Tank Gun in 1942 but not a 12 Pounder. They were unable to balance the design on either the 6 pounder carriage or the tank mounting and once they reduce the length of the barrel to achieve it the performance was no better than a 6 Pounder.
I am trying to put together a Dynamo Two Speed Control Panel for my Daimler Armoured for which I need the following components. If anyone has any suggestions on sources it would be appreciated.
Fuse Box CAV Type 1M with blade fuse not glass type
Relay CAV Type DR1
Unit Resistance Lucas Type RU10/2
Yours is missing a few bits like the frame etc and has been modified. The only way of getting spares is to break another one which you could do because they are fairly common but they are not worth a great deal so a problem if you want to get your money back.
Diesel will still required for ships but its supply will be restricted at some time in the future. Between this and the new tire regulations if enforced, more modern MV's will be a lot less desrible in the future.
If it was the one that ended up at their Museum in Winchester it was subsequently given away or swaped and a gutted hull was put back in its place. The RWY also aqurired one off a Range and I believe ended up with the same owner who aquired the Winchester one.
Petrol will always be available at a price for historic vehicles for specific purposes but the hobby will turn more and more into a rich mans hobby because of the cost.
There will also be a transition period when petrol remains freely available for those cars still on the road so if you can afford it you probably don't have to worry for 15-20 years.
