You've got yourself another MKII no.2 . Also a former Wasp. You should still have the lower hull no. it's on that angle iron across the rear of the tub part of the hull on the left side right over the track when your facing the rear of the carrier. That will be the only no. that you will have. Good finds. Does the engine in this one run?

Default carrier

unfortunatly this one does not run either, however I am determined to get these running as I feel they are too valuable to discard, do you like the fancy levers that were added in place of the pedals and steering wheel, lol

Default Numbers

Ok, so I had a look at the spot you told me and found them on the left while standing behind the carrier looking to the front, it looks to be 24611 with I believe a C broad arrow, does this sound right?

Default Carrier

Ok, so on my lunch today I went and looked my carriers over to see if I could find some numbers, one question do part numbers have a TL or CTL as I found several numbers that start with TL but they are spead out among the carrier and some of the numbers are the same in both carriers, also the engine that is in the second carrier I have looks different and the "Serial" number looks different, it is an RC number, I have attached a photo of the number.

the TL / CTL numbers are most likely part numbers as most part numbers start with this prefix

Those are part no.s. I don't think that is a carrier engine as the no. should be on the left rear of the engine and that no is on the right. most likely an automotive engine. Check the same spot on the left and see what you find. The carrier engine should start with a TL and end with a F
