fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

[rob love]

Why 2 holes?


Never mind....brain fart. I am too used to mk1 carriers. Roberts is correct for Cdn carriers.

Robert has obviously gone for this type mirror arm. The book is for 'British Carriers' I don't know if the Canadian carriers had the same thing? But mine came with a separate mounting plate. Ron

My Carrier which like Ron's is a Canadian No2 MK2* and has a mirror stalk the same as Roberts new ones rather than with an adjustable mount that Ron's has! I am not surprised that they differ. A friend of mine has a Carrier again a Canadian No2 MK2* with a build date only 5 months different from mine but we constantly notice numerous differences between them. I think these may be due partly to the evolution of parts sourced at the different build times and partly to changes made in service when items have been replaced by what was available.

Thanks Rob, Ron & Mike . All good info. According to my knowledgeable source , the stem is 10” overall and the rod bearing the mirror is 6.5 “ long. I’ve made mine a bit longer c’ause i play in traffic with my Carrier and i wanted to see over the entire width of the road behind me . I have to deal with logging and wood chip trucks on my nearby playground and they go really fast .

Thanks to my good friend SuperDave , i am now the owner of a good core to work with. This tank configuration is specific to the MkII Carrier . Two brackets on top with the vent and one on the bottom with the inlet .I have already located the holes in the division wall.

While the configuration is specific the tank itself is common to all Fords of the era. These tanks were used (with specific bracket configurations for..) on Cab 11/12, Cab 13 and Lynx as well as carriers.

You might be able to source a better tank from another vehicle and re-rivet your carrier brackets on to it.
