New UCW project

[Petr Brezina]

Hello all, I'm in - thank you Hanno!!!
Happy I can join this great forum and share with you my project's updates.
I'm slowly getting there, some parts primed, some repaired, currently working on the transmission (still waiting for new reverse idler gear) and carburetor. Lot of work ahead but it's a part of fun, right?

Hi Petr, Welcome to the forum.
I have a British MkIII Armoured O.P. (AOP)
The MkIII had no air duct (scoop)
Mine has the same access plate at the front as yours.
You have some parts that I don't know, and 1 I would like measurements from (the wiring cover in the first photo,on the left)

Would you be able to post photos of the engine bay?

[Petr Brezina]

Surely, no problem, will send you dimensions a detailed photos. Do you mean this one - marked with arrow?
Check pics - this is all I have got from the engine covers.

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Petr (correct this time) that is the one. The cover for the cables beside the driver.
Have you established where your carrier was made yet? (Canada or U.K.)
I would like to see a photo of the engine bed rails.

[Petr Brezina]

I see, sorry, dont get it. Pic added. I would say its UK made.

[Petr Brezina]

Done. Must say it again - this carb is just beautiful piece of engineering. Im looking forward to the connecting and setting

[Lynn Eades]

Petr, that is the style of construction of the British carriers.
The engine bed rails are made from "channel" and have sharp outer edges. The Canadian bed rails have a rolled edge and are pressed from flat steel.
This difference makes any carrier immediately identifiable, as to it's origin.
As Michael R earlier said "British built"
