Heads Up: Canadian Carrier data plate replacement

[Markus Müllner]

I've already got some request, so I put some general info up here.

As for publication plates I can offer the two versions for Carriers and the one for Lynx. Any other plate will have to be drawn first, for which I need at least some good pictures of an original.

The identification plate will have your personal numbers. You'll need to check them on your carrier. I can't tell you exactly where to find them, but there are a lot of people in this forum you can ask for help.

I do collect manuals and handbooks of WW2 era AFVs. If you have any you are willing to part with, I would happily (part)exchange them for plates.

Plates I already have a pattern ready are 60 EUR. Those with custom numbers for your specific carrier are 90 EUR. I can offer money transfer to my bank account or PayPal.

best regards
Markus

I have a old book of the Sydney harbour that I am giving to The Sydney Maritime Museum ,It contains about 60 large pictures of Sydney at about 1927 I also have a cup with the first world war and two Generals on it. I have a couple of manuals for the DT969 winch truck for sale

Awesome!!!!

Will gather my carrier details and send you.

Have a late Mk1

In this regard, I would suggest we set up a new thread for data plates, as these items can be missing from a lot of CMP's and WW2 armour these days.

It would also be great if, as Markus mentioned, we post detailed photos on the thread of surviving examples so they can be patterned.

This should also include CMP Body Data plates. I know Gord Falk is missing the Wilson Plate from the rear of his 2K1 Wire 5 Box, but we do know the correct serial number. Can anyone post a detail photo of one of these plates?

Agreed,

I do however have fears of folk taking ID's from other machines and adopting them for their own.

Not that I am saying any of you guys are dodgy... but it is on the World Wide Web and all that good stuff

I am in for a set as well but as my carrier was buried underground for 30+ years,the numbers on the armour have pitted away so I will have to pick a number from random within the carrier serial number range for my Mk 1 carrier and the odds are slim that I will pick a number that may show up belonging to another carrier but it is possible so would like to see if everybody is willing to send in their serial numbers to start a data sheet so numbers don't get duplicated.What does everyone think of that? I am sure there are other carriers that have no data plates or serial numbers left on the edge of the front armour (replacement reproduction front armour) and will also have to pick a random number. Will wait and see what input comes forward but I am interested in a set of plates for my carrier!

I think you need more punctuation. I count 95 words in just one sentence.
