Humber FV1600 - ARN 105-819 - Restoration moves forward.

[Dave Mills]

Hello back, the bases came as NOS from Russell at Stawell. I recall that Russell had a fairly large collecting of these and the glass screw on lenses from Tim at Winton. Tim had a dwindling stock of the smaller lenses, however, a lot of the rather large lenses that screw into the same base. The indicator wiring was placed into the new rear looms I made. The rear loom picks up about midway along the RH fuel tank on the inside of the chassis rail and runs to the rear from a junction block in steel conduit, this can be sourced in Ringwood from Vintage wiring harnesses if you want some, he sells it by the metre with the ferels for the ends. They also have the wiring pattern to produce the new front loom with indicator wires included as they made one for me from an old loom and have the pattern and wire lengths on record. If you go this way you will need to supply the push in wire ends. They also weave the outer cover on the looms, I also had the wires for an electric fuel pump placed in the loom along with the indicator wires. From memory the front loom cost around $680.

Also from Vintage wiring harnesses you can purchase the two pole centres for the Stop/Tail light as the NOS only come with a single pole centre unless of course you add two red lenses.

Are you going to remove the cab?

Hope this assists you Robert

Dave.
