For Sale: Carrier - cast parts round 3

[Doug Lavoie]

Ben,
I am interested in one of the brackets for the smoke discharger. I have all the rest of the bits now, just short of the bracket. Just verifying that it is one for the Mk1*.
Let us know the cost of the bracket and latches please.
Thanks,
Doug

I visited the foundry today. I can get the round thumb screws for the upper engine covers and the wing nut style lower engine cover screw for £5 each, that will require you to drill out and tap the upper type and run a die down the lower style. This is easy enough to do but I want to make it clear you will get blanks with no thread.

The latches for the lockers etc are £10 for a complete assembly as shown above, hinge and lever, again these will need drilling by you and the wire hoops adding

The discharger bracket was quite expensive, I'm trying plan B tomorrow in the hope it will be cheaper but it is quite a chunk of steel to have cast. The first quote will work out at around £80 each

As with the parts before I have worked the prices out on getting a reasonable quantity made, if there isn't enough interest I won't be able to order that type of part. Let me know if you are interested and want quantities and we can go from there.

Cheers

Ben

Ben,
Are these parts from cast iron or cast steel? The foundry I spoke to here in London would do cast steel, but wanted a minimum run of 200 pieces. I would be interested in 8 of the lower engine cover screws (thumb screw).

All cast steel, quantity is to cover the outlay of initial tooling costs. You could order 1 if you wanted, it would just be expensive.

I too would be down for 8 of the lower engine thumbscrews pls

Ben,
If needed I could mail over a sample for making the pattern.

Ben,
I am in for 9 thumb screws- lower engine cover. Could you tell me what it would cost to ship the discharger bracket? I am interested in it.
Thanks,
Doug
