Yes Marcel, three pieces, all the same width but different heights. In the picture they look bent, but are straight.

3 weeks ago i visit a military market here at the Netherlands and found a nice lot of carrier parts(the 2 red lead parts i recieve from Adrian Mamzer).
I had bought also a package of wooden strips what belongs at the edge of the upper hull of a MK1 carrier.
This weekend i open this package and found out that this wooden strips are signed with the year of manufacture and a CTL number.
The year of manufaturing 1942 what is on the wooden strips will be a nice match for my carrier.
Yesterday i start work on the Diff of my carrier,take off the front part of the Diff
what is between the Diff and the gearbox.
The seal what was on this part i had take a way because it was damaged/getting hard so it had a small oil leak.
So now i had to find a new seal what will be not so easy i think.

Cheers
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
In England there are people who will make these seals, they are not a standard size. Try going to you local bearing shop and asking them, if not, the try this website;
www.jgelectronics.co.uk/oilsealuk/default.html
I recently had a Carrier owner from Canada asking about these seals and put him on to this business, Oil Seal UK. I have not dealt with them myself as I normally order through my local bearing shop.

regards, Richard
