Hi! Guys,
Im new to this techno stuff(posting stuff on the forum) But on this carrier track gear, I can add a bit. English,and canadian carriers run the same stuff(narrow or 2 1/2") and the aussie stuff is wider at 3" The very few parts that are common to the two sorts are the bearings inthe wheels, and for a given type of carrier,the wheels are inter changable except that the front adjustable wheel onthe Eng. Can. carriers have thinner (lower profile) rubber on them . The inner bearing is the same O.D. but its bore is bigger. Most other things Are not inter changeable due to the English/ Canadian carriers being built using B.S.F. fasteners ,and the Aussie carriers being mostly put together with U.N.F.
A bit about me. Im a "Kiwi" or New Zealander. We had here during the war both English and Canadian Carriers, as well N.Z. built about 800 odd Aussie pattern carriers (L.P.2 and 2a) prior to which we built 40 L.P.1 carriers copied from an English Bren but with Hydraulic brakes. Hope this helps
