1953 Dennis F12 Pump Escape

You have probably seen this wonderful old fire engine before, but she is currently 'off the run' for want of a Rolls Royce B.80 water pump. If anyone out there can help the Essex Fire Museum find one we would be most grateful. We have discovered that the military version does not fit. Can anyone help please?

We have a F7 which is identical to the F12. We put a n ex MOD B.80 mill and had to modify the engine compartment to make it fit. There are quite a few differences between the civvie and military versions.

Hi Barrie, we were looking to moving the rad forard to accommodate the military version, but the will foul the back of the front panel. Could you give us some pointers as to how you did it?
