got some pics of the adjusters, it looks like the previous owner (to Rob) has been taking links out and not using the adjuster on the front, they are both set to the rear most point so perhaps a few links here and there and a wee bit adjustment may help matters on that front.....when i get to that point.

I think you will find that taking one link out of the track will shift your adjuster from its out limit to its inner limit. with every thing else staying the same.
Your carrier has a lot of good bits, and although I believe your track is probably 90% though its useable life,you are "in the game" by restoring this carrier, and while going through the restoration,you will likely locate some more. If you follow Jordans thread and advice you cant go wrong. If you keep posting on here ( start a thread on your restoration) You will attract a following, and people will help you if they think you deserve it. I was looking around the net a while back and found carrier rear axles, and carrier track for sale in holland. I dont know the details, or if its still for sale, but maybe Hanno, or someone in that part of the world can help.

Cheers Lynn, hopefully everyone will think i deserve the help. the carrier is being revived as a living memorial, so i feel it is an honourable cause.
busy trying to find anyone that may have cause to ship some stuff to the UK, as it willl help me out dividends on costs (more saved on shipping = more ploughed straight into the build) Just waiting on Bruce getting back to me about the steering linkages so i can chuck em in with the carrier before she is shipped. may have located a full set of track too but no updates on that front as yet. once the carrier is home i will start the build thread and see where we go i guess. cheers Richard
