Default Value For Money

Rob,

I see that you did not put a price on the parts, and I know why you did that. If folks want the stuff they should see your site, and contact you directly.

I would like to add my 2 cents worth on this particluar topic.

I have been restoring my Carrier for the past couple of years, and some parts were unavailible. I had found pictures of the smoke grenade discharger apparatus, including the tube, control cable, and bracket. I was able to locate and purchase the tube and cable, but never the bracket. I sacraficed an Enfield rifle for the launcher, having no Ross to mutilate.

I designed my own bracket - having no pattern to copy. My friend the metal fabricator did a super job to replicate the part, and we even modified it when the angle "just did not look right". I have not been keeping an itemized list with prices ( mostly so my wife would not be able to use this against me! ) but I am quite sure it was double your fee when we were done.

Bottom line - your stuff looks good, is availible, and a fellow can easily spend way more fabricating the parts himself.

Rob - thank you very much for going the extra kilometer and helping the CMP community with your reproductions. I look forward to your next efforts - stock track pins for U'Carriers for those of us that could use a few spares.
