whiteee Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi, myself and another UKG member went out and salvaged a few of these for some upcoming pack builds, getting harder to find now. True vintage though - do they look pretty accurate to you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteee Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 We found 9 in total and we actually still need another! I didn't post this to drum up business but If we find any more I will offer them up for trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nice find Ian. Not an expert but they do look really close if not the same type used. Great find! I would love to own one of these. If you find more and want to sell one, mail me for sure! Keep me posted. And thank you for posting the canteen on ebay. The seller made me a good offer to buy instead of bidding. Hoping to get some molds ready to open them up to the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yep, they look really accurate. If you just missing one aks Gordonator. He still offers the intake manifolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteee Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 We actually found them all at same site! We are on search for more, we will pass on any that are not needed. No worries about canteen find, just wanna help out. Some of the siphons have stickers on them, I thought I took a photo but it appears not. Next time I'm in workshop I will post details/part number in case it's of use to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonator Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You found them inside toilets? Hope they don't smell too bad. @@! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 WOW! GREAT find! If you have one to spare, I would be really interested! Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonecollector Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You found them inside toilets? Hope they don't smell too bad. @@! They are authentically weathered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteee Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 5 of them were in a scrap pile, 2 were inside cisterns next to scrap pile and 2 were in cisterns still plumbed in to the toilets... None smell because the siphon is in the cistern (inlet for toilet). We will keep salvaging but unfortunately we don't even have enough for our squad. Myself and other salvager have earmarked the 2 black ones for our builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hey Ian, any chance you found more or have one left to spare? Still interested. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteee Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I haven't been out searching recently... When the weather is a bit nicer, I will also post interest thread in here IF more are found and any are SPARE. Just had one member of our squads TD cleared and 2 more finishing back packs, 3 more currently trimming and assembling armour then mine (once I have finished these **** extended shin bucks). After we have all built back packs I will re assess who else needs one and see if we can help anyone else out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteee Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi, sorry for some reason I don't get notifications to this thread! All that we have in hand have either been used or are earmarked for future builds. I have been trying to find and source more. No part numbers on siphons - branded "SHIRES" and also have "Made in England" on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteee Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I can get hold of a few more, £25 each including shipping within the UK, I haven't got a price for US shipping yet. Need to box one up and weigh it. Anyone interested? Let me know where you are from. Ps. They will be used and possibly no longer functional as a toilet siphon - so back pack use only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ill take one! Shipping to the US. Thx bro... Saludos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
