Chris Suslowicz Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone know where we can get an Austin K9 fuel sender unit(or one to fit) and a Speedo cable(or one that fits)??? Thanks Ian It's based on the Austin Lodestar (a standard 1950-ish lorry), so I suspect it would have been a standard part for many vehicles. Classic Truck rallies? On a tougher note: Has anyone got a spare cable port for a K9 radio body? There's a broken one on Ron's truck and I wasn't quick enough when that airfield control tower conversiuon was being scrapped last year. Just need the outer section (flange and lid part). Chris.

nedsmith Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ian, I have just fitted a classic mini van sender unit to mine, £16 off ebay, you will have to solder the old float, and arm to the new one to get the right length, and bend it to suit, as the mini van one must have been side mounted, and the K9 is top mounted. seems to work OK on mine. I am also looking for a inner speedo cable, or inner and outer, if you find a supply, or someone that makes them. Cheers Peter Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim gray Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Re speedo cable,I had a duff one when i bought the morris PU. Give them all the info ie size of thread connectors, drive dog size and shape, length and speedy cables should be able to sort you out. Did a cracking job with mine.If your original does not have a greaser and it can be concealed its worth having one put in (thats why mine packed up originally)Regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poles that go in the side racks are to make up 2 x 36-ft aerial masts. The ones for the penthouse are stored in the "coffin" on the front of the box body along with the plasticised canvas tent sheets. Chris.

Papav66 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The correct oil filter is a FRAM CH-869PL1, you can still buy them trade. I've got about a dozen if you get stuck. As for penthouse suite poles they are quite rare, though depending how the sale goes of my K9 (when I get chance next month) I might sell the penthouse suite separately.

Bill, by canister one, do you mean you screw the whole thing off and throw it away, (if so you need to know the diameter for the sealing ring at the top, and the thread size) or is it the canister type like the Bedford, with a pipe in the top and bottom, are there any numbers on it, a picture might help. cheers Nedsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Ned it's the same as my bedford Ql the whole thing is sealed there is to brass fittings one above the other? Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedsmith Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Ned it's the same as my bedford Ql the whole thing is sealed there is to brass fittings one above the other? Bill. Bill I have a 1953 K9, and it has the normal cartridge filter, do you know if the engine has been changed for an earlier one, the cartridge system is a full flow system, where the earlier type like yours is a by-pass system, which just filters the excess oil, and returns it to the sump, which may be a type fitted to the earlier Austins, I am sure someone more knowledgeable than myself could give you an idea when they changed over, and what filter you need. (is it identical to the Bedford, if so you shouldn't have any trouble getting one). Cheers Nedsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Ned, the engines never been changed, and yes it is identical to my Bedford, but Trying tom find a filter for the both is driving me nuts! Regards bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ill probably just take it of and leave it in a bucket of petrol for a day or to? Clear it out. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
