Very nice, but I wonder if the positioning of the electric fuel pumps is as clever? How "Fuel tight" would the tank selection switch be under fuel pressure? The Autopulse pump was located after the switch to draw unpressurised fuel through the switch. And those Carter fuel pumps are good gear, and available in 6v or 12v. I wonder what voltage he is going to run?

Default Lloyd McCarthy's fgt project

gday, i asked Lloyd about the voltage yesterday and he said 6 volts,he removed the mechanical fuel pump and opted for electric, i gave him some photos i had of my grandfathers quad in italy for his collection and a couple of new helmet straps to make his equipment a little more complete,he was stoked. im sure he will need a pattern for the canvas top soon if he hasnt already organised it, the seats are recovered and look great also the head cushions for the two front crew. he found the quad served in north africa with the australian 9th division in 1941.



the sun compass in top condition




































traces of the aussie number 50315 .
Lloyd found a live .303 round in a long and forgotten place dated 1941,its also got what looks like a .50 cal size hole inside the rf wheel arch heading towards the radiator.
