Hi Justin - just replied to your PM. I can take the images off here. Well done, especially with the Maker's Plate intact. I suppose you will need a second panel soon, although I would be concentrating on this Carrier and put #1902 on hold. ANOTHER ONE SAVED, HALLELUYA!!
Bob

Thanks all for your comments,I,ll take some pics of the inside once i clean 60 years of dirt out of it!.
Max,The inside still has a lot of the original fittings and looks to be pretty good.
Bob,this is definatley first on the list over 1902.

Justin.

Good find Justin. Isn't it remarkable that such good carriers are still out there after so many years of neglect?

Cheers
Rod

Hello Rod,
Yes its unreal that there are still some out there like this,But there are going to be less and less with the scrap dealers pushing the way they are.so nows the time to be saving them.
Heres a pic of the inside front now that i,ve cleaned four inches of dirt out.

Default New Carrier

Justin,
good to see that you got one. Typical rusted out floor.
I am in the process of fabricating new seatmounts, pedal mounts and control pivots. The seat mounts are the same as the English carrier, but I doubt that there aren't many of those around either. The pivots are uniquely Australian though. They will have to be turned and threaded. Unless I can find a suitable stepped bolt.

Good luck.
