cordenj Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Oh my god ! thats im my opinion exactly the same pumps !!! do you own them ? can we get some dimensions please ? kindest regards Nige Nige, No sorry, dont own one. I have a semi-rotary type on my 100 gallon Water Bowser. These are photos I have gleaned over the years. Two of the photos are of Bedford MWC's...would need to find someone with one of these trucks to take measurements; there is one in a museum near Arnhem, and forum member "Tomas" has restored one near Prague and am sure would help with measurements, see: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?15406-Bedford-MWC-66144-water-tank but there must be one in UK. Just to tease, these pumps do still appear: dont know if you saw this thread on forum this weeK: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?29865-Can-you-identify-this-WW2-Trailer-Bowser Note the remains include the body of one of your pumps!
