Contact David Fletcher at Bovingtons they have patterns and manuals they can copy for you, there would obviously be a charge but if you go in or ring it gives you a chance to have a bit craik with the lads....... if you do pop in take a camera !!!!

Nigel Watsons Carrier book (Vol 1) was recomended in this thread and by others. However before I outlay for the book can anyone confirm that the Loyd is covered in some detail.... I wouldn't want to get it only to find that the Loyd got two pages!

I agree with Richard. The Loyd gets very good coverage in Nigels book. You need it.

Next time try through Nigel Watson himself: http://www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk/ If you ask politely he is more than willing to sign it for you.
Also try to get hold of the following back issues of Wheels & Tracks magazine: Quote:
