Starfire Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hi All, The following bits and bobs were floating around in the back of my Saracen when I got it. If any of you can help me identify them, that would be greatly appreciated. The table lists the observable part numbers. [TABLE=class: grid, width: 500] [TR] [TD]Description [/TD] [TD]Part Number [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Tool [/TD] [TD]FV 55751 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Round plate, 5 bolt holes [/TD] [TD]5868-2 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Padded bracket [/TD] [TD]FV 639090 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Large curved bracket [/TD] [TD]FV 122851 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Small storage bin [/TD] [TD]FV 55327 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I think this may be a muzzle cover for a Browning. I'm pretty sure that this should be on my engine. This too. This is an actual product that you can buy in Australia. It does exactly what it says on the can and works a treat. I'm fairly certain that this panel is not for a Saracen. It appears to be a horn button and indicator switch and has a flasher unit on the back of it. I'm fairly certain that this is not a Saracen part either. I could not find any markings on this. This spring loaded plunger is behind the seats on the left side of the vehicle and appears to retain something against the rear bulkhead.

challenger Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hi, first one is a muzzle cover for the Browning - quite old that one. number two is a tool for removing the filler plug on the fluid flywheel. It holds the filler plug captive as you don't rearly want to drop it down into the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks, Since my vehicle is fitted for a GPMG, I guess I don't need a browning cover. If anyone wants it, let me know. I knew that there was a special tool for the flywheel and figured I had to buy one, so that's a win Cheers Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Item 4 is the cover for the ignition coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_War_Collection Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The cover in your hand goes at the base of the rear doors, covers the electrical wires of the convoy lamp Cheers Nick CWC Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The silver holder below the start ya bastard pic is a splinter screen holder for a Ferret, The horn button is also a light switch and would fit most 1950's AFV's and some soft skin vehicles of the same period. I would have thought that it fits a Saracen as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I learn't something too! How does it hold the plug, is it magnetic? No not magnetic; the end is a simple socket the fits over the plug and the knurled end is then turned to screw into the plug. The plug is then captive to the tool so it can then be removed by turning the whole tool with a spanner or socket and ratchet. Problem if you happen to lose the plug down into the depths you cannot move the vehicle as the fluid flywheel will turn and empty out all the oil. Been there done that on a Saladin in a former life. I wasn't popular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Item 5 is an oil pressure switch, used to feed the oil warning light. It's common to a number of R-R engines including the K60. Andy Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't popular! If you drop a plug it is more serious than losing the oil, it has to be removed else it will damage the flywheel on starting. We had a Fox come in to REME wksps, with a bad leak, found that a squaddie from a unit had dropped the plug and fitted a replacement, when it started up the plug got caught up resulting in the flywheel cover being cracked and mullered.
