Default some more pictures.

Hello,

A few more pictures of my carrier. Had a lovely sunny day today, so started cleaning out and having a look at what i ha bought.















Why is there a block of wood bolted to the hull by the side of the engine?

I seem to be missing some links of the steering mechanism?

Filled a couple of buckets of soil from it today, found a number stamped in the metal behind the passenger seat. Hull number i think? Where will the other be? and is there any chance i can find the wd number from them?

The drivers side of the hull has been drill in two places with four holes each, can anybody recoginse these?

Please P.M. me if you have any of the parts i'm missing, i have got the front idlers but the rest is yet to be found begged borrowed and remade.

john

John make a list and we will help best we can, you have my details matey dirk Leegwater has complete nos dash built up.... Hopefully Kevin helped you out and you got the dash panel at a good price.

Regarding the holes, If it's at the rear end of the lower hull it's for the fuel tank straps.

Default Loved the last pictures

Hi John

Looks like a great project, I particularly like the pictures of you and the kids out playing in the yard.

These things have a way of becoming part of family folklore and great memories.

Keep us posted on the progress.

Cheers Phil

If it's the four that are in a diamond type
Format, looking at your pics in your album, it's for the smoke discharger bracket
