Default Transfer case

Hi Fletch,
Its a small wprld I was talking to a friend only the other day and told him of the transfers cases that I once had, I remember removing the conection from the transfer case to the gear box on one of them and this one was pulled apart to achieve this, I guess this maybe the one that Alan got along with the engine and English carrier parts,that you now have,look forward to your pics when you get the time,if you are ever up this way call in,
Regards Ron

Hi RON
Here are some photos of my carriers. The LP 2 came from John Bellfields graveyard in melbourne it sat there for 30 years, and for 28 of them it was uncovered so you can imagine the condition of the internals and the floor VERY BAD. Its still not restored but it is usuable and even drove it in a parade with 30 other M.Vs including two other carriers, what an awsome day that was. The Mortar Carrier came from the ALBURY region and was just a bare hull with large holes cut in the floor and bulkhead, ill post updates as they come.
Regards: FLETCH.

Default carriers

Hi Fletch,
Great photos, very interesting, it seems that all of the carriers have now gone from Johns back paddock, at least they will be saved now, for future generations to enjoy.I will look forward to progress pics of your mortor carrier

Hi Ron

It sounds like i have jumped the gun a little bit in calling it a MORTAR CARRIER, i call it that because i know what the end resault is going to be. With heading down a different path to what Colin Jones did it is getting the MORTAR CARRIER makeover with a similar outcome, ill keep you posted.
Regards FLETCH.
