I may make one up for the 2VP carrier at work as I am just about to install the cross shaft now. I also need to make up the cross tube dust excluders, and cannot decide between the bellows type or the simple wiper type. The carrier will not see the mud or brush like it did 70 years ago.

Rob, Have you some pics and dimensions of that canvas cover?, i believe there is one behind the driver which excludes debris coming into the cam plate and another which snap poppers on that covers over the cam plate rollers (i have seen remains of this particular canvas cover on Richard Harrisons carrier) when he got it.
Kevin.
