Good Luck with your project!

One lesson from the folks who are keeping old vehicles safely on the road, is to identify the commercial equivalent parts and replacements for your Humber. The easier it is to find a minor electrical component or well-hidden mechanical part, the faster your project will proceed.

One MLU long-timer told about taking a Land Rover part to his local auto-parts store and playing 20 questions. The answer came back it was from a 1960's Detroit small block V8 which was sold to the UK. The difference in price between the part in North America and one from UK was significantly less.

Sadly there are very little parts on a Humber 1-ton that have a commercial equivalent, but .... some parts are shared with the Ferret Scout Car, which will help, like engine and brake components, electrical components. As there a number of Ferret owners in Australia and a few Humbers, this will help you. You should make contact with Tim Vibert in Victoria as he stocks a lot of British military parts for Ferret and such like.

regards, Richard
