Lynn, I have yet to see a British built Carrier here in the Uk.

Richard, Check out the thread on 'carrier spotted heading for US', I will be putting in the vision metalwork and glass this coming week.

The new carrier takes priority until stripped and primed, will check out the carriers numbers, this carrier would of had its data plate on the drivers wing.

kev.

Default Carrier progress

I have stripped out the vision slot mechanism which were all intact on this carrier, I would advise to anyone doing this to use plenty of heat on the retaining nuts as you dont want to shear anything off or burr anthing over, use a propane gas bottle to heat the nuts up, its worth investing in a long shank drill to take out those split pins on the top pivots before teasing everything loose, All the fitting are unique and will have to be machined up if damaged.

I also split the track down into short lengths, with about 80% of it being in usable condition.

Default More Carrier pics

Hi, Started stripping out the carrier. Noticed this early carrier has the cam dust/dirt cover still in place. Rear axle a little different on these early ones too.

Kevin.
