Not much has been happening with my Carrier as I really don't have that much left to do. (other then getting my engine back) However I did pickup a rather cool piece of "kit" for it this week. Actually I was given it. Its a Boys Mk1 Anti Tank Rifle made by Inglis in 1943.

Hi Jordan,

Thats a nice piece of kit you have there, are you still looking for a magazine for it ?, I have several here and would trade for carrier items if you any going spare, do you still have any of thos hull grip handles and the antenna 'hook downs' left?.

kevin.

Picked up a couple of neat bits for the carrier the other day at a gun show. Got 2 British green flares in mint shape. Now to just find 2 more matching ones then the white and red ones.

I also spent a few minutes to paint the inside of the radio battery box in glossy black as was discovered from those factory pictures posted a while ago.

Lastly, Ive added the tow chain brackets and a much better copy of the pick axe helve end bracket. Those were the last pieces I needed for my tool plate. Although you can't see it, I have also added the rear convoy lamp bracket on the reverse side of the plate.

Hopefully I will have my engine back soon and then I can have fun getting the whole vehicle back together again. This will give me some much needed room in the barn to work on other projects.

Made up the battery hold down rods that go in the radio battery box today. The 2 grey pieces are part of the WS19 setup.

Another part bites the dust, ummm make that checked off the "to aquire" list. Thanks to the generosity of a fellow MLU'er I managed to get a really nice complete radio battery cable conduit and its mounting brackets. I can't get over just how over engineered this part is for what it does. But thats why I like these machines...

Thanks a bunch to those who helped.

It might seem over engineered for the occasion Jordan. But in those days it was just every day bog standard electrical conduit. probably used on most home and industrial wiring installations. Ron
