- Norman Julian 14 Dec
- Question:
- Which hub is right for a prewar.
- My guess is the deeper one.
- Adam Draper
- Yes I believe so
- David Wilson the deep one may have had an odometer in it
- Norman Julian
- Heh!
- Brian Musgrove
- Close up of 1947 Albert if that helps
- Norman Julian
- That's Albert!
- Brian Musgrove
- Yes it is
- Robert John Hood
- FFS!
- Brian Blunt
- Albert is an Albion?
- Brian Musgrove
- Brian Blunt beats me it's a green double deck old bus
- Norman Julian
- Robert John Hood FFS???
- Robert John Hood
- Is Albert an Albion Norm??
- Norman Julian
- I thought everyone knew.
- A big fat yes.
- Norman Julian
- It is an Albion Venturer SPCX19W Clyde Ex 2004
- Robert John Hood
- Is it really Norm?
- Feral Pigeon
- Poor Albert had his roof flattened, because he couldn't fit under a bridge somewhere ��
- Chris Dempsey
- Scholes Motor Service Leyland TD5 m/o-182 ex 1562 had these front wheels on.
- Picture from the Ken Magor collection
- Robert John Hood
- Alan Fletcher worked for Len many moons ago.
- Norman Julian
- Thanks Chris.
- I think that answers the question.
- Probably be difficult getting another one!
- Chris Dempsey
- Try the Bus museum they might beable to help
- Scott Wilson
- It is a hub meter to record distance.
- The centre is a glass window so you can read the meter.
- Common on most pre war Leylands but usually on the drivers side for easy reading.
- Norman Julian
- Really!
- I will have to have a closer look at it.
- Scott Wilson
- I have one somewhere at Oberon.
- Got it off a pre war AEC private bus.
- Norman Julian
- I just checked the one on this bus out and it has been welded up.
- Feral Pigeon
- Norman Julian Can a new one be fabricated, using today's technology ?.
- Steve Hardie
- Has somebody had a look at David Griffiths 1937 TD5 ??
- Steve Hardie
- As sure as Sunrise
- Steve Hardie
- Albert is an Albion CX19S
- David Wilson
- I think all theTs7/8 Td-4/5s (and single dekcers) had these hubs
- Brian Blunt
- This appears to have been the standard arrangement for most T type front axles.
- Brian Blunt
- This was a on a heavier 10 stub hub, it is flatter
- Brian Blunt
- This is the rear 10 stud hub.
- Original photos of the truck show it fitted with wheel nut guards as well.
- David Wilson
- brand new TD-5
- Norman Julian
- That's amazing!
- David Wilson
- 'seven line' red and cream livery
- Norman Julian
- Would be lovely in colour.
- Least we have the museum bus in red and cream to see.
- Brian Blunt
- They put wheel nut covers on it!!!!
- Norman Julian
- Don't reminds us, Brian.
- Apparently they didn't last because the time involved when changing a flat tyre.
- David Wilson
- there was a directive in the DRTT "Working Orders - Omnibus Division" 1942, that in event of a flat tyre, drivers had to loosen wheel nuts and jack up the axle ready for the mechanics.
- So presumably each bus had a jack,wheel brace and a spanner for dress rims.
- Where all that kit was carried is not known but I can imagine the problems keeping buses equipped.
- May have been a Wartime expedient to save labour but would have been a total pain to the drivers
- Feral Pigeon
- David Wilson there was a war going on, remember ��
- It's quite possible that every bus was supplied with a tool kit by the chassis manufacturer
