Just a couple of pics showing the spring compressor in action. The carrier had a busted spring and had to be replaced.

Morning/evening all, In between looking after my kids while my wife's away I got a bit mor done. Turned the carrier up side down, replaced the exhaust system and straighten the protector plates and also free'd up the steering cam and cross shaft. For it's age this carrier is in perfect condition. This is one that I got off a farmer who had it for over 45 years and has always been under cover and uncut.

Hi Justin, mine is a S.A. carrier but the hull was made by metgas as it has spot welded sections. As far as I'm aware, it was only Metgas that spotwelded the hulls. There were quite a few hulls that came from Metgas, finished here at the Islington Railways and given a South Aus number and stamp.
I have a few pics today showing how I remove the bogie shaft with nill damage as they can be very stubborn to remove and very hard to replace.
