Thanks for the breakdown of IIRC as I have not seen that one before. Also thanks for locating that die as I was on Ebay for awhile last night doing searches for 1" die 16 TPI with no hits at all, i guess I was looking in the wrong spot . I will be using tubing for the conduit as our local Metal Supermarkets have it in the sizes I need. Now I can move forward on that section to hopefully get it all made up and painted here soon.

Does anyone know what the thread is for the brake adjuster main screw?

I don't know if it is, but if so, I see them on ebay as well.

I thought I would give a little update as I have not had as much time to work on the carrier this last month but I have been able to get a lot of the pieces fabricated and painted. I now have most of the key pieces done now so I can get started on the assembly this winter and hopefully have it mostly done by spring time.

Had new rear fenders made up as I did not have any with the carrier. These are the brake rod covers and I guess the brake rod spring that is mounted underneath the covers. I used Doug's as a sample to make up some new ones.

The front fenders I purchased from john but I had to weld up the mounting holes and drill new ones to make them fit ( has anyone else purchased the front fenders from John and had any issues bolting them up or is it just me, Just wondering ??) any how I got them to fit now and they are painted and ready to go.

I blasted my wheels and replaced all the bearings with the larger 50mm ID bearings and had New spacers machined to make them work like some of the other members here as it was a lot cheaper than the 40mm bearings.

As I was blasting the wheels I noticed on just one of the wheels there was the C Broad arrow stamped on one of the spokes, Has anyone else seen the stamping on any of their wheels Anyhow the bearings are installed and wheels painted ready for assembly.
