My first carrier: some assembly required

[super dave]

As I have had some PMs regarding my recent posts I edited the one on the oil cooler lines on the lengths of the hoses. Also here is the measurements of the ball/sleeve on the Exhaust down pipes so you can get some made up for your project. Just a side note that if the cast L bows in the floor were new it should be 1 1/2" ID but with mine i found that they were both different in sizes and I got the Sleeves custom machined to fit each side as I found that they can be as much as .070 larger ID.

Well I had a pretty good week overall and I got all of the conduit installed as well as the wiring. The rear engine compartment is now all wired and hooked up, Installed the rad and I was able to install the frame work around it as well as the rad side covers. This coming week I have some more fabrication to do as I have to make up some engine covers as well as a few more pieces.

A few more pictures.


I also installed the air cleaner and tube to the carb as well as the overflow tube from the rad.

Dave, when I applied my decal I put on the top of the main body in a place you could see it from through the air screen and also when the engine cover was removed.

Did you place it there from a picture of an original one or just looked like the right place to put it ?? did you put it on the side or at the front ?

Thanks Lynn, Yes I hope it helps a lot of people who are building there carriers as when I just started mine I did not have a clue as to where everything went as I got mine in a million pieces. It has been quite the journey from not knowing anything to almost knowing every thing about the carrier as well as all of the help you have supplied me over the years as that is what this group is about

I see Dirk has those and also a 'yellow' one with 'Made in Canada'. Would the Yellow one be correct for my MK2? Ron

Dave,

That is an impressive amount of quality work, in short order. Glad to see that Doug's coveralls still fit.
