hi barry, I want to take the carrier to as many shows as i can but tansport is an issue. It was imported in from Ontario Canada in 2008 as a running carrier, sound hull but needed a complete cosmetic rebuild all the fixtures and fittings were missing including all the front armour which laid in the back of the carrier including the two pounder mount.
here's a couple of pics as arrived.

Kevin i always thought running odd amounts of links causes issues with the diff etc ? not having tried this for myself how have you found it so far given that one side of the hull is possibly running faster than the other less links and all ? or is it a tension thing ? i can never get my head around these things

Hi, Barry, Eddy. Thanks, Barry will be there with a set of exhausts for you if you like the look of them. Dont think i will bring the carrier as cant get transport at a cost effective rate.
looking forward to going this year with the nigels book launch, anyone got Nigels number as a friend with a carrier wants it?. kev.
