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.

So Kevin
Is this going to be one of those Canadian carriers assembled for the British, with the British supplied componentry? Do you have its ID plate? The spring pad axle is interesting. I havent seen that before on a riveted carrier.
The pedals look like brit ones to me.(there has been discussion on here before about the early canadian carriers having these pedals. Mine are marked "M&G limited". Any idea who the manufacturer is?

is it possible it is not the factory built axle ? i know during military service they had a stock pile of axle units so they could change them out in a one'r so the brakes and diff etc could be changed in one fell swoop ?
it certainly does look like a truck axle or some sort of sprung system vehicle. thing i love about carriers is they throw up so many questions and little hidden gems which you can miss but find months down the line ! Kevin clearly you have an eye for a good carrier project i remember saying myself "The Mk1 would be a good one" but never thought it would be as complete as it is.

Richard
The "normal" carrier axle is from the Torque tube drive (1938? Brit style truck axle) so the axle in your carrier has the two bolt lugs on each side (front and bottom) where the stays bolt on. The 1940 style axle like in the Australian carriers, has the spring pads. Is this a standard later type carrier axle from Ford of Canada?
