New carrier owner introduction

[Hans Mulder]

Good day,

I'm the proud owner of a 1941 FMC Universal Carrier Mk1 since November. You may remember this one from Ebay sometime ago. It is the one with the T16 rear axle, left hand tiller bar steering, and GM engine and transmission. I'm hoping to be able to rebuild the armour and move the steering back to the right, but it looks like the tiller bars may have to stay. Good thing I'm not a purist... I also have enough spare parts that I may build a tracked trailer as well to look like the Renault UE Chenilette trailer. In any event, I'm glad to have found this forum. I've picked up several books already, but I'm looking for the patterns for the armour plate. If anyone can help, please let me know.
