Flare pistol rounds bin wooden inserts are done and painted. I used 12 of the American rounds to fill the one bin as I don’t have enough Canadian rounds for both bins. After 40 years of collecting I’ve only found one illuminating round. Red and green flare rounds seem to show up more.

The axle light gets mounted on the two existing holes for the right hand tow cable bracket. See here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...5&postcount=28

Busy day yesterday at the shop with yet more pieces finished off. After restoring the shovel, pick axe helve and crowbar, the pick axe head looked out of place so it got a good sandblasting, priming and painting!
The hardware on top of the crew locker is now done. Just have to decide to wait until spring and sandblast the crewlocker or take it in now and pay somebody to do it? Wood inserts for the smoke generator box are cut and installed. I’m not too concerned about painting all the items as the whole carrier will need repainting once I’m done restoring and mounting all the items.

Good advice, I’ll take it! Plenty of other items to focus on making until then. Routering out those wooden inserts for the grenade boxes will take some time to get right. Make a dipstick, “B” set antenna mounting bracket, jacking block etc.
Next thing you know it will be spring outside and I can sandblast the locker for the price of a bag of sand! Thanks,Derk

I received my handgrips today from Jeff Hunter. He does a fantastic job and they will look way better in my carriers than the bicycle grips I’ve had in there for over 20 years now. I’ll have to wait until spring to put them on, too cold out there in the shop now!

My tool box lid needed pads, my original carrier I made from canvas so wanted to replace it with a pad of proper material and my new carrier has it rotted away so completed 2 pads. Need to find a source for proper rivets now.
