Unknown armour (?) items

Post by Big D » Sat Apr 15, 2017 5:53 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to identify this air cleaner and the other items that I picked up recently. I think the air cleaner is possibly from a half track, but not sure.

The items in black NOS packaging appear to be maybe a fine wire-brush with a wood handle?

The lines are Diamond T of some sort but I'm not sure what. The printing on the box says 'fuel pressure gauge'?

Does anyone have any ideas what the items are?

Thanks.

Darryl - The wrapped item looks like a file card, from what I can see.

Hi VJ,

Thanks for the information on the air filter. Very interesting. I'll post details of it on the truck forums, as I have no use for it.


Hi 8683jb,

Thanks for your reply. What exactly is a file card? I guess I'll unwrap them and take a closer look.

Look at this file card. It's kind of a modern day version of what you have.

Hi Roger

Ah, of course. Thanks for that. I should have worked out that is what they would be.

Hi Ben Dover

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't have picked that. Not sure how one of those got into this load of parts.
