B series Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Does anyone know if the 4 speed gearbox for a 1936/ 37 Austin 18 York LWB 7 seater, is the same as used in any WWII era Austin 15 cwt or maybe K2/3 vehicles? The reason I am asking is because I have for a 1937 Austin 18 York: Austin 2510cc 6 cylinder, side valve engine block, crank, rods, pistons, valves, and sump, but I am not aware that any WWII era military vehicle used the Austin 2510cc 6 cylinder engine. 4 speed gearbox with alloy casing, quite a large gearbox in my opinion. Front and rear axles with rod operated drum brakes, maybe these would be the same as used on the Austin BYD 15 Cwt? or Austin "Tilly"? If these parts could be used by someone with a military vehicle it would be good, because there seems to be no interest from Austin 18 owners, and I find it difficult to scrap hard to find parts.
