TonyAus Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 That's a Ded-Ezy tyre pump. Compound cylinders and fixed to the running board. All you need is a hose which will reach all four wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Minibago, I don't think I've seen one like that before. So, it's still a handpump? No roos needed? Ron, if you've taught her to cook you may as well keep her. It will be 50 years in April for me. When she hit 50 I threatened to trade her for 2 25's. It took a while for the bruising to go down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hi Doug, Yes, a hand operated two cylinder, two stage, rocking action hand pump with large cup washers, quite common over here but usually minus all the bits. A generous friend here made my two handles and another provided cup washers. I sourced a gauge from a club notice (they are the hardest parts to find) and hope to get at least one of mine operational one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thanks for the info. All we have here are the crank driven pumps and hand pumps like DB supplied with cars. I'll put that on the list of things to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Lawson Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hey Matt and Richard glad you have been able to get out for a run. Both of your cars look fantastic The little red Austin caught my eye One of them was my first car Great little car that was very reliable and cheap to run I spent the day working on a 29 Ford A the starter motor shed a bolt off the bendix drive and I got the job of fishing it out I was told to put a generous amount of grease on the flywheel and turn the engine over and hopefully the grease would pick up the bolt This failed so after cleaning the grease out I put in an old curved magnet that I have and thankfully it worked The only other choice that I had was to remove the transmission Not an easy job on a Ford 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minibago Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Good to see you boys out in good weather, the VDC club days are always nice and good to see blue skies. 👍 We had a “London to Brighton” copy cat run yesterday, Veterans only. My front wheel. Dave’s 1918 Touring. And my favourite, a 1910 Phanomobil. A twin cylinder tricycle with a wicker basket body built originally in Germany. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 1914 Humber, they eventually became Hillman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 An interesting history, Humber, who never produced more than 5,000 cars per year were purchased in the 1928 by the Rootes Brothers who were dealers in cars and makers of accessories wanting to get into car building, they also purchased Hillman at the same time, then Singer, Sunbeam, Talbot and many others over the years. Their first acquisition was the bespoke body builder Thrupp and Maberley. Know as “Rootes Group” they were themselves purchased by Chrysler in 1967.

Minibago Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Actually you are quite correct, the Commer line of trucks were discontinued and replaced with the Dodge brand in the UK after Chrysler took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Beautiful day in Melbourne today so we made the most of it. Went for about an hour’s drive east to Warragul to see Judes Dad. He is exactly the same age as the roadster and he’s still going as good as the roadster. They don’t make them like him anymore. After that we went house hunting out in the country a little, and found 20acres that we are looking at tomorrow. Was so much fun driving the country roads with the top down. Gets hot when you stop though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Good luck with your house hunting Matt, 20 acres? Nice. You can put up plenty of sheds on that sized block. You picked a good day, it is going to rain heavily in a day or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took him for a bit of a drive in it and he loved it. His first car was a 1927 dodge sedan. Soon as he saw it he said She’s a handsome thing. haha. He’s the toughest old fella I’ve ever come across, I could listen to the stories he tells us all day. We really don’t know how good we have it these days in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the rain but that wind last Friday was just bloody horrible we had about 6 trees come down here at our place. Took a day to clean it all up. And no power for 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
