Some Help
Dave,
I can help a little.
I had lost that bent armour plate above the gun, as you have. Our pal Rob Groves makes them - MkI style. I made the one he sent me into a MkII with a little help from my other friends the hack saw and the mig welder. It will not be bullet resistant, so choose your battles carefully.
The lower covers for the engine area are just mild steel sheet metal. They rot out like a bandit, so don't look too long before you just make new ones. I only have 1 fuel tank, so on that side thay are all custom to keep some heat and smoke inside the engine compartment. I will make you templates this fall when the show season is over, if you want.
I may have the rad cap, I will clear away some spider nests and see if they left me anything out in the shed.
Any pix of your Carrier? - we all like to see these rehabilitations in progress. Some sort of pleasure in sharing the misery ....
Stewart
