Default November 2015 Carrier Update

Hello,
I have taken over the caretaker responsibilities for the Huntsville Legion MK-II* Bren Carrier and I thought I would post an update.
I have been able to "correct" the Gunner front Lower plate position - we mounted it backwards. It now properly provides a fit for the MK-II* swing plate and completes the frontal look of the carrier.
The previous caretaker had liberally added WWII items that didn't make any sense so I have removed them. The replica Bren Gun was made by a Legion member so it has to stay with the carrier. I've tried to place it where it is visible but where it doesn't interfere with entry/exit to the gunner's seat.
Smaller items like adding a marine gas line squeeze bulb, replacing a 6V battery and plugs and tuning the carburetor have made it easier to start. I will have to do a full lubrication, greasing and fluid change in the spring.
All going well, it will be part of the Legion Remembrance Day Parade, tomorrow at 12:30pm in downtown Huntsville.
That's it for this year.
