Zero-Five-Two Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in Clives Mystery Object Page, but anyway here goes. My new toy came with quite a bit of stuff in its pump lockers, these few bits I cannot identify except to say they are nothing to do with a fuel tanker. If any one can identify them or has a use for them let me know and I will pass them on otherwise they will be consigned to the scrap fund. Looks like some king of swivel hitch type of thing. Got a feeling I've seen something like it before but can't remember where, or what it was fitted to. Hook shaped thing, quite heavy duty job despite the surface rust Got 3 of these. About 18" diameter and half an inch thick solid aluminium, each of the holes have a screw thread in them Any ideas or suggestions most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 First bit is surely the towbar attachment for the front bumper when it breaks down, second bit looks like something to stop it overrunning a towbar of some kind. Aluminium plates - no clue, but they look like they could fit hatches or mount filter / pump kit of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hooked shape thing is a bollard for US armoured vehicles, 1944 onwards, worth saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might fit the front of a wheel barrow. The pins at each end are no more than 3mm diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the replies chaps. Got another one here. 2 x tubes 24" long, with a slot running most of the length. A small triangular flange on the end. They are handed, with the flange on left and right sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the ones they go above the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll plead lack of scale reference in the original photo m'lud :angel: It still looks like lifting or towing kit, but with 1/8" pins ( don't do metric .... ) won't be for anything much. Hatch, flange, or the like lifting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 18" diameter and half an inch thick solid aluminium, each of the holes have a screw thread in them Any ideas or suggestions most welcome Do these fit the access holes in the top of the tanks, and are they for some kind of measuring operation? trevor Or are they 'moon discs' for the, ahem, custom version of the tanker...
