Hi Keith.
My apologies for the tardy reply to your request, please find attached a couple of photos of the carrier.
I was lucky to find it, i was browsing the internet one day and came across a web site for an Auction Sale of Antique Guns, the Carrier was advertised in the auction along with a Ferret.
The sale had been over for a couple of months but i thought i would still call and see if it had sold or not.
I could't beleive that it was still for sale so i immediately sent a cheque. The good thing was that it was just down the road at Home Hill (I live in Cairns) and that the hull had never been cut. The guy that owned it had a Firearms Museum and it had been in his museum for the last thirty years.
It is missing all the internatls apart from some linkages and seat frames. I have since found a radiator, engine and gearbox but still need plenty of parts. The tracks and sprockets are good but a couple of the wheels will need re-rubbering.
The Jeep Club swp meeting is on later this month in Brisbane and i have allready spoken with some members that have most of the parts that i will need to get it going. One item that appears to be difficult to find is the coupling between the gearbox and diff. Do you know of any?
The Carrier is a South Australian Railways LP2A Serial Number 1403.
Best Regards.
Martin
