Work has been super busy with callin shifts so not much has happened. However I did find the time to make up the throttle rod springs thanks to the diagrams in another threat. Very much appreciated.
I cut them out with an angle grinder and a thin cutting disk. I also rivited the two cast pieces onto the one spring. My uncle gave me a hand as he held the torch and got the rivet orange then I went to town with a hammer and tool to flatten it down. One more part off of the check list.

Got another part made up today. CTL 2723 is the radiator drain tube mount. The part was cut from sheet metal with a handheld scroll saw. Cleaned up the edges with a grinder and file, Drilled the holes, stamped the part #'s then bent it to shape. Gave it a sandblasting then primed with self etching primer.
The original is the one on the right side.

nice work jordan, it's obvious you have an eye for detail.
 and thanks for the description on how to manufacture the various parts you make. it's there for all to see should they need to replicate them for their own carrier.cheers rick

Hi all
My carrier is slowly getting back together when I have the chance to work on it. I refinished the radiator cowl and painted it in KG#3 Last year I had a couple of radiator pipes made up from an original one that I had. Unknown to me, but the originals were two different lengths to account for the offset in the heads. All was fine until I went to install the LS pipe and found it 3/4" too long. I also picked up an original fuel tank for a Mk1* Currently I have filled the tank with a parts cleaner to help clean out the old fuel sludge.
