andy1960 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi all anyone know what these are. They came with a load of mainly Bedford military stuff but could be off anything? The "ram "part is about 10inches and they act a pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wally dugan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 THE rams look like the hydraulic jacks fitted to some prewar cars like Armstrong siddeley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Herbert Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 In the 1940s high quality cars like Humbers had built in hydraulic jacks permanantly bolted to the axles (though not good for unsprung weight). The jacks were very similar to those pictured and there was a little pump under the bonnet with a valve to select front or rear axle. The little pump was also used in Humber armoured cars to jack up the engine decks to allow rearward vision when driving in reverse using the steering wheel at the back of the fighting compartment. I know this sounds unlikely but it is true! David Ha! Wally beat me to it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
