Default MkII* Ford Canada

Stole this pic from Trademe. The guy selling it bought it in the U.K.
I've never seen or heard of a MkII in N.Z.

Default Mk11 panel.

you're just teasing Lynn...

Mind you is it was a Mk1 panel I might sign up to trade me and have a go at it.

Cheers

just want to say great thread guys, the finer details are rarely covered by publications and it's the little things that often need most explanation.

cheers

Default Variations

No problem Eddie. The whole plan is to learn from each other, so we can put our carriers back together, a little more like they were. If everyone adds what they know is correct, we slowly get some clarity in the picture. This is why we need to know just what model our carriers are.
How are you going with your carrier?

Default details

Hi Eddy, as Lynn will tell you it's the finer details I like the most. I even try to get the screw heads facing the right way if I can.

So far the this Scout has been the biggest challenge yet to my hunter/gatherer instincts but I'm getting there - not a whole lot is missing from the project now and it seems to have come together by some mysterious series of co-incidences and sheer dumb luck finds.

I would dearly love to be able to post a blog of each part as it is found, restored and ultimately fitted. Maybe Santa will bring me a real comoputer this Christmas.

an enduring database of parts details would be a global asset in my opinion. I wonder if Nigel would conside part three to his carrier books - a comparison of spare parts and their interchangeability...

Cheers

Phill

Kevin, with ref the ebay auction # 111211420696, maybe it's time I pulled this to the front. The ebay dash panel appears to me to be an AOP panel. Check out mine in this thread. It is wrong for a U.C. carrier because it lacks the bit that holds the gauge at the bottom. Interesting that it carries two part numbers TL 13953 and TL 13954. They had trouble making up their minds.
