Some more items from the depths of my garage.

The first picture shows a selection of bar solder unearthed from a box. The top piece is faintly marked "Fry" with *. The second, fourth, fifth and sixth pieces are marked as seen while the third has the markings "Fry" and "Carbody". There are 16 pieces in toatal of the various types, and I am open to offers on single or multiple pieces. Don't forget though it is lead and is quite heavy, the lightest piece being about 10 ounces in weight, the heaviest about 1.75 pounds.

The second photo shows two unused soldering irons. They have solid copper bits the top one being 4 ounces in weight, the bottom one 16 ounces. Again, offers are invited for these.

The third photo shows a quantity of solid rivets all the same size, to the best of my ability with simple measuring; Head dia. 5/16", Shank dia. 1/8", Shank length 1/4". They are flat headed and are, from top to bottom, aluminium, brass, and copper. Offers are again invited for the rivets, either as small numbers or the whole lot.

Here comes another heap of stuff that may be of use to somebody. It consists of auto cable, connectors, insulating sleeves, some fuses, and some plugs and sockets.

In the first photo there are a number of lengths of auto cable of different colours. They were obtained for a project some time ago that never materialised. All of this cable is 14/0.30mm and is in 30 foot lengths. The colours/trace colour/number of lengths are as follows:-

White/blue/6 Black/White/4
White/Red/6 Yellow/Violet/4
Green/Brown/6 Yellow/None/4
White/Black/4 Green/White/2
Black/None/5 Red/None/3
Brown/None/2 White/None/2
Brown/White/2 Blue/White/2
Blue/None/3
Not shown is Green//None/4

The second photo shows more cable, for heavier applications. As in the first photo, it is in 30 foot lengths. The top two cables are 44/0.30mm, the bottom two are 28/0.30mm. The colour/trace/number of lengths are:-

Brown/None/8
Brown/Yellow/5
Black/None/3
White/None/3

I am asking for GB£1.50 per length (not per foot, yard, metre) for all cable.

The third photo shows a multitude of connectors, sleeves, plugs, and fuses. To be as brief as possible on these items going left to right, top to bottom:-

90 large spade connectors (such as generator/ control box)
45 sleeves for large spades
20 double ended standard size male spades in sleeve
10 red plugs and sockets. The socket can be bolted to a panel.
20 eyelet type connectors, approx 3/16" dia hole
50 right angled standard size spades
140 right angled sleeves for the above
120 double snap connector blocks, Lucas type CWB301
10 black plugs and sockets, same as red ones above
25 eyelet type connectors, approx 3/8" dia hole
40 sleeves for standard spade connectors
90 sleeves for standard spade connectors, with long tail
280 single snap connector blocks, Lucas type CWB 300
30 glass cartridge type fuses, 10 amp - 5 amp continous
120 sleeves for standard spade, double cable entry
40 sleeves for standard spades, hard plastic, double cable entry, locks connector to sleeve
40 cable nipples for snap connector blocks, Lucas type CWB 320
25 glass cartridge type fuses, 25 amp - 12 amp continous
100 stud type connectors
160 sleeves for connectors above
25 glass cartridge type fuses, 35 amp - 17 amp continous.

Anybody care to make an offer on any of the above items?

Paul.

P.S. Just for information (according to Royal Mail website):-

A 500g (about 1lb) packet sent standard airmail to Europe costs GB£3.38, to the rest of the world GB£5.72. A 1kg (about 2.2lbs) packet would cost to Europe GB£5.88, rest of the world GB£10.72. A 2kg (about4.5lbs) costs GB£10.88 and GB£20.72 respectively

Surface Mail is cheaper but can take forever to arrive at its final destination. 500g GB£2.86, 1kg GB£5.26, and 2kg GB£10.46 to all destinations

Buried up somewhere, possibly, Bob are a few switches but I think they may be too modern for the Blitz or Carrier.

Any chance you can post a photo of an example, or lead me to a thread where they are shown? I will try and hunt them out in the meantime.

Hi Bob......

Can you verify if that is the proper look of the switch handle..... little ball end switch.......

Got them from the UK in original NOS wrappers..... but not cheap....

Hi Bob - the shaft length and end ball look really close for Oz Carriers. The only difference is the connection end, ours have a rectangular block with the connections coming out of it. What is the travel of the shaft, half way or right through? It is interesting they are a Chev Brand switch. And finally the cost and supplier or did you buy him out?

I've attached an image showing firstly an RBM Brand switch that comes from a Ford Blitz Cab 12 with the second switch out of our C60S. I did have a Carrier switch but currently MIA.
