Default what about the steering...?

And how's the steering nowadays...??

As I drove it a few times when it was still beinig used by it's formal owner, I thought the steering wasn't very great (overheated brakedrums), and also the tracks and the cooling wheren't that great, but it sounds like you have tackled these problems already.

Did you find these new tracks in Holland? you must be lucky....

greetings,

Roland

Hendrik

If your tool stowage on the front of the Carrier is original, it looks like your vehicle started off life a a Medium Machine Gun Carrier.

Is any of the Vickers Gun specific stowage still left inside?

The drop down gunners flap also looks to be of British manufacture? I think the canadian one wrap round further.

Default steering

Hallo Roland,

Steering is I think very good, the former owner has complete overhauled the steering system and also had the radiator recored, I have also made a tunnel behind the radiator for better cooling.
Do you have a picture of your carrier and how is it running already?

Greeting Hendrik

Default Wanted

Hello, I was driving around today, and now I understand where the front windows of a carrier are for, they prevent you against the draft, my carrier has one of them, now I am looking for the other two, is there someone who can help me?

Mvg. Hendrik van Oorspronk

This is what I am looking for.
