So far this week I moved to the rear and installed the rear tool plate and most of the tools and brackets as well as the jack and block as well as the ration box and and tray. Also installed the rear convoy lamp. its starting to look more and more like a carrier

Looks great Dave.

Whereabouts did you get the strapping material. That is one item I have had issues trying to find. I can't see to find the stuff that matches the originals closely.

Jordan I purchased the rubber (2 and 3 ply) in sheets from Granger in the US, They have a great selection as well as all of the felt I needed to do the carrier as well.

Well I finished off the week with the installation of the dash and the wiring to it, All done now except for hooking up the lights. I made the rubber spacer that goes between the dash and the front armor using the dash and pieces from an original one. Also I made a sort of hangman's tree to hang the dash from to hold it while I was wiring it up and it was a big help.
