Early Mk.I* "TL13F", CB180

[Nech]

Thank you everyone gentleman for your information. You gave me the right direction, I am getting the answers to my questions.
The SE-83-44 parts catalogue says:


SPEEDOMETER - U.K. design manufactured by Smiths 0-40mph
SWITCHBOARD - CAV-BOSCH 47-51 (when depleted, replaced by..) manufactured by C.A.V.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE - U.K. No.20894/5 (when depleted, replaced by..) manufactured by Smiths 0-100 lbs
THERMOMETER - Dash unit U.K. No. AQ/TCL/181/108 manufactured by A.R.I.C. 120-240F
AMMETER - U.K. No. CB/5289/25A manufactured by C.A.V. 0-25A
DASH LAMP - U.K. design
HORN - PUSH - U.K. No.LV/HP19L (when depleted, not replaced)
SWITCH STARTER - U.K. No. LV/764361
SOCKET INSPECTION LAMP - U.K. No. LV/L1502/5

I suppose I can apply those data to my early machine.

Good start!

The change-over to Canadian or American made parts continued with the Zenith governed carburetor from Solex, Arens choke, bellows type air cleaner and engine cover mounted instruction plate, fuel tank selector, steering gear, wheel bearings, Lucas lamps and bulbs, speedometer and casing with drive, horn and horn push, gauges and switches.

The British supplied horn and push button was Klaxnet. The dash panel was punched to accommodate the push. Subsequent panels had the opening blanked off, then eliminated altogether. The opening in the glacis plate for the horn conduit wiring was closed with a bolt before new glacis plates were introduced that eliminated both the wiring opening, the splash angle mounting holes, and eventually the mounting holes for the track adjusting bar. Of course the horn conduit was deleted as well, along with the double style retaining clips underneath that held the horn and headlamp conduit.

Knowing this may be of interest when you are working with a "bitzer" project where both early and late parts have been thrown together, or a donor carrier from a different model used to supply parts. Not supplied through the normal updates during service, but through our efforts to rebuild.
