Vintage Perko Bronze Manual Bilge Pump on 2040-parts.com
Tracys Landing, Maryland, United States
|
This was on a 1936 Kings Cruiser so is likely of that era and has been stored since 70s.
Barrel is 18" so stroke is about 16", looks like the barrel is 2 1/2" ID. The threads are indented at a couple of places at the tip of the barrel top but with some care it threaded on. Also has about a 1" longitudinal crack in the barrel near the top that oddly doesn't go into the threads, see pics - if soldered on the inside it would not show and would not interfere with the piston. 1.5" female discharge, 1.25" male intake threads. Needs foot valve leather replaced but the flapper is with the unit, see pic. Don't know about the piston seal but likely it needs replacing too. No dents etc in the barrel except as described. 26.5" from top of handle. I believe it is all bronze or brass but the barrel may be copper. With some work it would make a lovely pump for a period boat! Better in your boat than my garage! |

Maserati GranCabrio Fendi; half Maserati, half handbag
Tue, 23 Aug 2011Maserati GranCabrio Fendi - a handbag on wheels Car maker like to hang a label on a special edition, and Italian car makers quite like the label to be ‘Designer’. Which at least explains the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi, just as it did the Fiat 500 Gucci. Whether it forgives it… So brace yourself for the world of pretension and ‘style’.
Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Concept – better looking than a Prius
Tue, 10 Jan 2012Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Concept The Toyota NS4 Hybrid plug-in has been revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, a glimpse at Toyota’s future design direction and full of concept gimmicks. When we had the teases for the Toyota NS4 plug-in Hybrid, Toyota made big claims about the NS4 being an ‘Advanced’ Plug-in Hybrid. But strip away the concept-only stuff like the camera door mirrors and trick doors and what we have left is a look at the next generation Toyota Prius – perhaps.
Hyundai ix35 FCEV production starts – & previews the ix35 facelift?
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Hyundai has started production of the ix35 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle which perhaps previews the facelift for the ix35. We revealed last year that Hyundai were pushing ahead with their hydrogen fuel cell cars (and eschewing battery EVs in the process) with plans to start rolling the Hyundai ix35 FCEV off the production line by the end of 2012. That plan slipped just a little, but the first ix35 FCEV has now rolled of the production line in Korea (pictured above) as Hyundai work towards full scale production of the ix35 FCEV by 2015.
