Over the last couple of days I've cut out and set up all the seats in the carrier . Big thanks to Darrin and Mick to show the way with brackets and sizes and layouts . Should have them covered in the next couple of weeks .

Before I drill the second bolt hole in the uni joint I've test fitted the gear linkage . Can some one tell me if this looks correct ? When gear change lever is over towards the linkage cover guard does the rear gear change knob look at the correct angle near the engine rail

Here's an update on my carrier , not much time as work is flat out with holiday makers here in Port . I did find some time to do all the seats two rainy days we had , I took advice from Darrin , Mick and Euan . I used HD foam 1' 1/2 inch thick for back rests with 12mm ply this works well and lets the drivers tool box open , 3 inch for seats and then folded the corners and stapled to the ply base . I'm 6'4 and skinny I still can sit in drivers seat and uses all controls
![]() ![]() Rear end is all finished ![]() My NOS mirror turned up the other day . can't believe how good it looks . The paint is very close to my colour ![]()

Beautiful work, Dale. Congratulations!
Are you going to put your feet up for a while when finally done and enjoy your efforts for a bit. or has a little voice in the back of your head already started nattering at you about 'a next project'? David |

I had a little bit of spare time over the last couple of days to sandblast tidy up and paint khaki green no 3 on my flare box . I will paint the red white and green on the lid in the next couple of days . Thanks to Euan and Darrin for their photos
PS thanks for your comments David and Lance .. My carrier is at a good stage now as I'm not going backward to go forward , each time I add a part it for good . I have had lots of help from MLU members as I'm not very mechanical minded I hope my post help other Aussie carrier builders . Dale ![]() ![]()

Here is a photo of my track they are 90% in excellent condition , but I have 25 to 30 links that need up dating on one track tail . so I'm hoping some one can help me out on MLU . My track looks like it has not been used much as it still has the casting lugs on the centre sprocket hole . If some one can help me out PM me . Dale

Dale, your best bet would be an irrigation supply store or look at radiator hoses for large tractors or prime movers.
Rubber marine exhaust hose comes in 2 1/2" but it is expensive, I just found it on ebay.

The measurement should be 160mm to fit the water can you have. They must have had the apprentice boy making that rear tray! If you re-weld the tag on it pays to give it an extra few mm to allow for the rivet on the strap , so it does not wear on the tin.
Nice looking pair of original air cleaners, cheers.
