Hey Lew. Great project you have there. Interesting the pictures of the gunners side where you have welded in the plate above the track. I haven't seen those 2 x metal straps before on any other machine in that position, although there's a Carrier out Pukekohe way that has the same on the engine cover side plate. Wonder if it was for map case ? Look forward to seeing more of the resto. Regards David.

Pics of the brackets for the "Steam" condensor, which was simply a 2 Gal POL can:

Oh ok, My carrier has the tie down points for the 2 Gal can but no sign of there ever being the straps which I now see supported the can. Thanks Guys.

cheers for all the input, encourageing to see that others are interested in my carrier, took a couple of pictures tonight. I welded in a piece of reclaimed armour plate into the drivers track guard, still have to weld it fully on the inside, it had rusted thru behind the dash so welded in some reclaimed there also. will have to make up a new dash surround as this one is pretty far gone. Good to know what the brackrety was on the gunners side, ive also seen bren ammo boxes strapped down there also.
