And lots of thanks you deserve too Paul!

Intrestingly... your loyd is quite different to mine in terms of the hand brake arrangement, mine is a fabricated arm which is not cranked like yours. I don't have the steel tube spanning the chassis and my gear stick is held in place by steels straps like the fuel tanks....all these companies building them differently, I don't know
When I've finished mine we can both do W&P, showing an early and late war version.

I would imagine those differences to be because of the seating arrangement in the two carriers. The Anti-Tank tractor had a single seat, while other loyds had the bench seat.

I was under the impression that the TPC and TS&C had bench seats while all TTs had three seats up front. The parts books and manuals can be a bit vague. The manual shows a photo of an early vehicle which has the same gear stick bracket as mine yet the hand brake lever as shown in Pauls photos. Perhaps the early TTs (like Pauls) were unique? My TT has the design shown in the books.

Whoops, forgot your carrier was a TT!! Another question, do both the carriers have their original handbrakes fitted?

Yes, my hand brake is still original.
