Certainly not Master / Martinet
The fuel item appear to be a three way fuel c**k with Teleflex control. Appears identical to the unit used on the Martinet with the exception of the bracket. Is it available?
Kind regards,
Tim
Dear All,
I now have a copy of AP 2654 Vol 1 Chap 4 and the following Theed Type AH4 hydraulic hand pump was fitted to the Martinet. Has anyone ever seen one of these in a museum or a private collection as I am trying to track down dimensions. The attached images illustrate the type I am after.
Kind regards,

Bit late on this one but I really want to congratulate the team on a thoroughly enjoyable event. A special thank you must go to Bob for allowing privileged access to the Master display so various measurements could be taken, they have already proved useful.
It was also very pleasant to meet some forum members and bask in the sunshine!
Looking forward to next year and if you get chance please visit this little gem of a museum.
Kind regards,
Tim
Dear All,
Following Beaufighter VI’s great assistance and the wonderful support of Max and Ritch Blood in magically fabricating a replacement lever rod I now have the basis of P.16a self priming pump for the Martinet project.

Many thanks to all who have assisted.

Andy / Andrew,
Thank you for the replies I was being bit of a numpty in not realising this AP was specific to the Master and Martinet. I have now ordered a copy and hopefully this will supply details on pilots hand operated pump.
Thank you once again.

Smirky,
Thank you for the heads up that certainly appears to be the modern equivalent and gives an understanding on the system. Anon (Mike) the bayonet fitting is approx 35mm diameter if that helps?
Thanks both for your responses.
Kind regards,
Tim
Thanks to Beaufighter VI considerable assistance we now have an image of the offending pump. Now if anyone has one of these lurking in a dark corner of a shed, or even components, I would love to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Tim

For what it is worth my money goes with MicroMesh. The attached images show before / initial application with the second approx two thirds through the process.
Kind regards,

Please find attached photo of pump lever and rather basic AP detail. Thank you for your kind offer Beaufighter VI and PM sent.

Many thanks for your responses they are all appreciated. I do have one or two rather fuzzy images of the installed unit which I will endeavor to upload later on. Beaufighter VI thanks for the reference I will try and source a copy of AP.2241.
Kind regards,
Tim
Apologies for ‘bumping’ this old thread but could anyone point me in the right direction to try and locate any details on the Self Priming Pump Company? I am assuming they are long gone?
Kind regards,
Tim
Anon,
Many thanks that is fantastic PM on its way.
Kind regards,
Tim
Hello Mike (Anon),
Thank you for the reply any leads would be of great interest. Just hoping the roof is still on the shed tonight as Caroline does her worst!
Kind regards,
Tim
