Neil,

Had a close look at the gearbox and clutch housing, and see that it looks like the gearbox is turned 90 degrees. There are some differences, because the oil level plugs are not in the right position, they have bored the geabox casing on the upper side and fitted a dipstick. In my photo of the gearbox, it is standing in the "normal" postion, but would fit in the vehicle with the side showing, facing down.

The second photo is the clutch housing which is special to the A/Car as it allows the box to be fitted on its side.

They obviously modified what ever they had to hand rather than build something new.

Are you currently working on a Humber?

Neil,

I would seem like a lot of the British manufacturers during those times, they had a lot of common parts throughout.

And to your question, Yes

Default wanted Turret fan

Hi
The restoration of the Humber is going really well now, but we are looking for the fan unit that sits in the turret.
I have attached a couple of pictures of how it looks.
