Some pictures of my new carrier

I don't believe the studs on the brackets are lift the dot fasteners. These studs were meant to retain the rubber type straps on the early carriers. Later, the rubber straps were replaced by webbing straps, but usually the little stud remained. I would have to check some of my brackets tomorrow, but I think the stud is a bit bigger than the lift the dots.

Does anyone know where one can find lift the dot studs with the wood screw threading feature behind the stud? I need to make new seat backs for my carrier and need some of these. If no-one knows of a retail outlet, I guess I'll order a quantity from the first source Sean has shown (minimum order $50) and make them available to others.

Sean, those "Lift the Dot" are to small to replicate these. As Rob says, they are for retaining the rubber straps.

Rob, I think there was a seperate thread about the seats and the "Lift the Dot" fastners.

I dont know if they were all like this, but this photo shows the profile of the stud on an original jack bracket that I have. This example being the mount for a 3" mortar.

Couple more bits and pieces made and found.

First up is that odd piece that goes into the corner of the crew stowage locker. Still have no idea what it was for. My grandmother thought maybe for a can of coke

Second up is two orginal parts that the latches pull against to secure the lid.

As for the strap studs, I checked out some more bits and the Cnd made parts look almost like the grease nipple whereas the Brit made parts have the pointy style. One of the Brit ones even was threaded and secured with a nut and lock washer whereas the other Brit studs were welded/ rivited.

Thanks, I didn't know they were different.

More progress has been made on my crew stowage locker. The 2 latches are all finished along with the small retaining clip. Just a few more bits and this bin is done.

Ive also started work on the second part of the WS19 rack. I believe it is the #22 carrier that Im making. Once that is done I can have my WS19 installed in the Carrier for displays.

I'd also thought I would show what my working area looks like. It gets a little cramped and dusty at times but thanks must go to my Grandparents and Uncle for letting me use the space.
