rippo Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Can anyone help me identify these parts. Side screen frames, t was suggested they were bedford, but i don't think they are. A mains operated heating element for the engine of an austin K2? Fuel pipe but what for? Part number LV7 SD 45323 Possibly K2? Anyone recognise it? I've not opened this box yet, What vehicles would these be used on? Thanks for looking. Edited August 14, 2011 by rippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 RAF 16E is the Vocabulary prefix for MT electrical items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 LV7/SD is Army. LV7 is the VAOS prefix for non Standardised British vehicles SD is Standard Motors Ltd I have a 1950s 16E Vocabulary which is several inches thick, which may be of use. But I'm afraid I can't read any more from your labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rippo Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry. The label on the suppressors reads 16 E MT4-21388 suppressor,spark plug Tyoe 15,000 ohms part no. 21388 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 16E/14488 is listed in the 1954 AP2515E just as "Heater (Engine)" together with another 20 such elements. The detailed entry shows it as "ELEMENT, immersion, 500/1,000 watts" It appears again on another page as above "c/w C. & A washer" Rather helpfully it states it is for: "Morris 24-hp Ambulance CV11/30" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this looks like the hijacking of an Army VAOS prefix derived from LV6/MT4 which is for common electrical MT stores, which includes sparking plugs etc. So the Army VAOS item would be LV6/MT4/21388 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 16E/14488 is listed in the 1954 AP2515E just as "Heater (Engine)" together with another 20 such elements. The detailed entry shows it as "ELEMENT, immersion, 500/1,000 watts" It appears again on another page as above "c/w C. & A washer" Rather helpfully it states it is for: "Morris 24-hp Ambulance CV11/30" Engine block heater (or in a sock inline with the bottom rad hose), single element, power output depending on voltage (usually 110 or 240), comes with copper/asbestos sealing washer, occasionally thermostatically controlled but generally have an in-built cutout :-D Usually used for vehicles used in cold climates to keep frost away or for fast response vehicles where the engine is kept up to temp for immediate thrashing! :cool2: Alec.
