Sadly nearly all of the suspension units have been cut to bits and mounted on various conveyor and rotator drums at the opal mine over the past 50 years.

So I will either need them from other vehicles or will have to reproduce the trailing arms and pivot lugs.


I did get a lot of track. Most all of it is Australian.
Only had a little bit of Brit track left because it was used as drive chain on equipment which you can see in the rotator pic.

Admin?

Any chance of changing the thread title to something like "SAR LP2A and MK1 rebuilds"

Default Carrier parts.

Welcome to the forum and the world carriers. The restoration of my carrier was mostly complete 10 years ago. I may be able to help you with some sispension parts.My carrier was upside dopwn in my yard for 35 years. I assembled it in 12 months and had it at Corowa in 2007 .

Thanks for the offer John.
I think I will be OK for the suspension parts at this stage.
I have a mate that has a spare set that he is going to help me out with, so hopefully the LP2 will be OK.

I am still looking for a british set of rear suspension units though for the pommy Mk1 if you know of any around. As well as a few other pieces for both hulls.

I've got a list of odds and ends that I am looking for in the for sale and wanted section if there's anything there you might have that's no longer needed.
