DeBruyn MK-1 1942 restoration project

[Rick DeBruyn]

An update of the reproductions I’ve been working on. The foundry finally did some preliminary pours on the reproduction castings that we’ve talked about in the past. Next they will set up the machining CNC process. I will let you know how all proceeds. Rick

I have had patterns made for the following Carrier items they will be available to the group when the foundry finishes cast process. I’m located in Alberta Canada.
1-CTL 168 SA knob assembly
2-CTL 1534 Hinge – female, CTL 1535 Hinge – male, (TL 1537 Pin - 3.4" x .5")
3-TL 8689 Bracket - AA Bren gun mounting
4-CTL 607 SA support assembly - pick head stowage
5-Bren gun mounting stem - AA Bren gun mounting, CTL 12429 (lower), CTL 12431 (upper)
6-TL 7167 Handle protection plate locking
7-TL 12458 Bracket - smoke generator discharge
8-CTL2078 Headlight wire cover.

Hey Rick the parts look great

Hey Rick,

I'd likely be interested in one of the pick head stowage mounts when you start making them. My T-16 was lacking that part and the one I fabricated works but really isn't correct. Sure the Canadian carrier version is virtually identical to the T-16 part since it mounts in the same location and does the same job.

My other parts from Rod that you wanted to copy are still in OZ but I haven't forgotten.

Rick,
Right on. The parts look great, can`t wait to see the finished product. This will give some people a chance at obtaining parts other wise not easily found, if at all. My hat is off to you for your efforts.
Doug

Those castings look to be very well done, with very little finishing work required. Great stuff!
I have an original pick bracket. and the casting appears to be done around the bolt, or maybe the bolt is pushed into a hole, which includes the hex for the head (stops the bolt from turning)

Rick i would love a copy of the pattern you used for the smoke discharger so i could make my own.
