Big track attack
Australian carriers have 2 track types, LP1's have the same as English carriers, narrow track & wheels. Track has the threaded pins that English & Canadian track have. LP2 & beyond use a wider track between the horns & wider wheels to suit this. I don"t know of any other variations in track width apart from this. The wide track's pins are retained by a lead "plug" similar to a fishing sinker. Apparently the Aussie "diggers" (slang for anyone who got shot at during any conflict wearing an Australian uniform ) used to use.303 or .30 cal projectiles to keep the track pins in place.
That is why Aussie carriers corner better, because of the wide wheels & rubber.... tee hee. With an Offenhauser twin carb manifold & alloy heads, you have a carrier with some real street creed........
