Carrier ID
 

Hi David,

From the little info I have on carriers I found the following:-

T2879 and T2932 are from T.3888 by Nuffield Mechanical & Aero and are for
Carrier, MG, No2 Mk I and Bren. A batch of 400

T21548, T21644 and T21649 from Wolseley for Carrier, Universal, Mk I & II. A batch of 1400.

Hope it helps. Any chance of posting the photos?

Cheers
Kevin

Sorry the second batch is from T.9835.

Kevin - sorry for your difficulty. I have forwarded you reply to Dan at Smithers BC
They have had troubles with heavy smowfall and some health difficulties so he may be slow in replying. His e-mail
I have unearthed a couple photos I will email you but I'm afraid I can't offer anything better. Regards Grant

Engines
 

Excuse my ignorance but what engines were used...Ford V-8?

Ford V8 carrier
 

David - The Mk 11 carrier is fitted with a Ford V8 flathead. As far as I know this was standard on all of them. This makes them of particular interest as in this day of huge gas and diesel prices this is one of the few track vehicles a person can operate without being a oil baron or millionaire.
