Not much happening with my carrier lately , to many jobs around the house I'm still waiting on the motor , did have some luck with the two gallon water cans as per the photos below . I would like some help with info on the front water can for the vickers as to what , the top and bottom holder brackets look like . Some photos show a belt like strap , other have a double rubber pull down quick release type of holder . Dale

Im looking for the water can strap too. I've got the bottom bracket, I'll take some photos of it tomorrow so you know what you're looking for. I'll finish those vickers ammo box brackets for you next week hopefully.

Thanks Darrin and Alex for the photos . I just need to see what the top bracket looks like ? Here is a photo below of where i'm at before the motor goes in , with the clutch rod how do the bends look ? does it go behind the exhaust extensions can it be put in after the engine is in ? as it might need test fitting and re bending
