Wanted: Water Bowser Fittings

[Dusonn]

I might also be interested in two filters and couple of pumps for my bowser project, shall the replicas become available.

[Guy Verstrepen]

if possible I would also like to join the project for 2 filters and 2 hand pumps, for my c15a waterbowser.

Once we know for certain if the company can build the filters and provides a price per unit, it will be posted and we can lock in who whats them. They would only be building the filters as the various types of pumps that were used during the war were made by other companies.

Apparently, the hand pumps were manufactured by a company called Barclay Kellett in Bradford, England. I think they were bought out by Albany Pumps in the 1980's?

Attached is a schematic of the unit, if anyone wants to have a go at making some. No dimensions, but if someone can measure the distance between the mounting holes on their tank, the approximate size should be easy to work out.

I can't measure the hole centres; the mounting brackets have been torched off my tank!

soon I have a manual operating and spare parts 200 gal. water tank.
mounted on Dodge T 222 4X2 Chassis.

hopefully I can get more information there that can help us further.

As far as my attempt at getting the original maker to produce a run of parts, they fell through as cost would have been more per unit than anyone would ever pay. I ended up scratch building a mock-up for my water trailer.
