I had seen this resin stuff on the internet comes as a kit the first is a rubber compound which you make the mould from, the second is the hard composite resin to make the item, the chap demonstrates by making an old 1930's jaguar steering wheel, i cant remember but it was someone from here that sent me the link a while ago...... i cant recall the name of the kit though...I think it was either Rick, Doug, Gordon, or Big Mike....... DOE ! the procedure looked fairly straight forward though

I've got a Canadian wheel, however it's started to expand around the centre where rust has got in, I'll post a photo tomorrow, didn't bother you about it as I thought they would be plentiful.

Default I am also looking for a steering wheel...

I am also looking for a steering wheel, this time for a mk1: Carrier, 3 inch mortar T83628

Does anyone have any information on the dimensions of the track warping cam arrangement, my one is very corroded, and I am about to pull out all of the gear in that area for a total rebuild...any information welcome...

Kind regards,

Mark Cameron

Default Thanks

To everyone for their replies> I was hoping to buy a good one from Canada (Is anyone over there listening?)I would like to see the Photos Brian. You will get answers from here Mark. Give us some specifics. I have made up rollers, and a camplate, as well as bearing retainers. It cant be too hard for an engineer.

In Kiwi speak "yeah, naahh. She'll be right, thanks all the same Mate"
You did warn me, but I'm looking for a good one. How many carriers did Ford of Canada build? Somebody in Canada must have one.
T80889 looks like a good project. Is the front armour off a different carrier?How about pics of the inside?

Default interested in wheel.

I am interested in your steering wheel if still available? Do you have any other spares in regard to steering parts, gears or linkages? Paul
