The button on the floor looks like the headlight dipper switch. The cold start "hole" should have a choke cable from the carby. Still working on the first one :)

Yep, that's what it looks like.
Any of us that grew up on Australian or US very early seventies and earlier cars are familiar with those.

As above - no idea what the first one is, "Cold Start" is the choke control minus the knob and inner cable, and the thing on the floor is the dip switch, in general use, as Rick indicated from about 1940 - 1975 standard fitting in Australia and US at least, but also in many English cars, including Landrovers about 1950-1971.

i'm guessing that #1 is a pull control for something further back on the vehicle, take a look a lil further to the right in the pic and there is what appears to be part of a chain that looks like it may have been connected tot he clevis shown in the left 2 arrows......

Where did this vehicle come from? The reason I ask is that if it came from a cold climate the first thingo could possibly be part of a device to control a radiator blind.
The "cold start" is sometimes referred to as a choke and operates an airflow restricting butterfly device in the throat of the carburettor to assist in cold starting.
This button was often pulled out in older style cars by an unknowing lady driver and used as a handy place to hang her handbag, so I have been told.

The item arrowed bottom left is this, Looks like a older type fuel filter maybe??

Looks like the old petrol V8 filter.

Had a heart transplant?

Could also be the sedimenter from the diesel setup?

Now I know this is a Thermostat, but where on earth does it live?

I have two Water Temp Gauges,one in the cab one in the rear, this one comes from the rear, how would it have been installed, was there 2 thermostat housings on the 6 Cly engine? and as i have a Diesel maybe theres only one?

Here's the Diesel setup (just in case you don't have it)

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Thermo sensor goes in at the back of the water pump, drivers side, near the thermostat housing. From memory, the actual entry point is a bit more concealed down the side, and tucked in.

further to this (good eyes Sprint), could it be part of the mechanical fuel shut off for the injecter pump ?

Thank you...

Would that be just the one thermostat??? ( as i have 2 )

[muddy]

Pic 1 did it ever have an overdrive unit ? could be part of the orignal linkage

Not sure. Could be a FC thing?

The button on the floor looks like the headlight dipper switch. The cold start "hole" should have a choke cable from the carby. Still working on the first one :)The cold start is a hang over from the original 6 cyl petrol. I'm also guessing that the other items are also from previous 6cyl fittings but the images lack a little clarity.

You have to remember that the firewall is a 4cyl normal control firewall with a few rivnuts for the body panels outside the bonnet and a couple of added holes for the steering column through the footwell. While there is no clutch slave cylinder in that location in a F/C, there is one in the 4 cyl normal control, so the plug remains.

The arrowed items seem to be some sort of bowden cable, One of my FC (a fire engine) had a PTO operating cable coming out of the seatbox below the drivers seat. I'm wondering if this could be something similar or even something to do with the fire pump controls. Have you followed the outer to it's other end to see what it connects to?

The fuel bowl is a standard AC paper filter type, it was OEM for the six cyl, it lives on the inside of the chassis usually bolted to one of the stirrups that support the upper chassis rail beside the gearbox on the drivers side, just forward of that should have been the bracket to the double ended SU electric fuel pump.

Addit: I can't see the linkage for the hand-brake! This is usually a length of 3/8" round bar and should be in that area, running from the hand-brake lever in the seat box to the relay lever adjacent and in front of the hand-brake drum. Could it be that they have replaced the round bar with a bowden cable?

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on these bits, iam sure they will be more...

The item arrowed with the clevis ended rod is for the hand throttle, it went to a replay on the 6Cyl, and allowed the engine speed to be set from the back. Marine quality and origin.

Its useless at the moment but i will need it fixing ( where i have nio idea ) if iam to use the pump.

Cold Start, went to the carb, as pointed out...already

further to this (good eyes Sprint), could it be part of the mechanical fuel shut off for the injecter pump ?

That was my first thought too but not being familiar with the engine or vehicle ??
