fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

[Robert Bergeron]

Many thanks Sam . It is quite a project. More involved than i first thought but with the help of the MLU community i clear hurdles and go forward .

Hi all . Here is my original MK II Carrier overflow tank completely restored , painted and ready to be installed . Thank-you Super Dave for the core .
Used some leftover Olive Drab paint for now. Speaking of paint here is another $ 1 M question : What colour should a 1944 Canadian No 2 MII * Carrier should be ? What’s the nearest modern equivalent ? Were there colour variations ? So many questions ..

[Robert Bergeron]

Recovery tank in place. Perfect fit in the holes already there in the div wall . To the left of the picture, the tank vent fixture . Next , a new gas tank as soon as i come back from my next adventure . More to follow.

Factory colour would be a matt (really matt) olive drab. Similar to the standard American 34087 something but a little greener.

Thanks Bruce , will be working on that when i come back . Is the tank green enough or would you go for darker ?

Meanwhile , more pics of the recovery tank.

Two bolts on top , one bolt at the bottom.

Vent on top , outlet / inlet on the bottom.

On the floor , toolbox , pattern thanks to Rob Love.

To the right , thumbscrew for the engine access panel.

To the left lower above toolbox , grease point for track cross tube .

Above , crew seat .

I need NOS hardware/ bolts & nuts.

Got my fuel tank back from ACME radiator.

They restored it completely inside and out.

They use a white coating inside and gray outside .

I painted the outside OD Green.

It should last for years.

Where can i get a working fuel sender with float for the top of the tank please ?

I have read Dave Schindle , Rob Love and Mike Gurr's comments of Feb 19.

I have perused Mac's . I think i have found something.

Cheers.

The left side tank looks swell!

Is it time to sort out the front and rear horizontal pressure vent assemblies and their connectors to the specific front and rear vertical pressure vent lines, along with the vertical lines hull clip?
