Thank you all for the welcome. Michael R especially thanks, I have sent a PM to Brian, fingers crossed he still has some. Ron I will check my air filter on the weekend (as the carrier is stored miles away from where I live) and let you know what is on mine. Mine lived the past 10 years in Wiltshire so probably not the same one.
Regards Mike Gurr

Only problems I was aware of at Arnhem were muppets not doing homework before bringing arms and munitions all be it inert into a foreign country without doing their own due diligence (we are grown men and masters of our own destiny) As it happens I did do my research and I had no issues..... Unfortunately the above mentioned clowns ruined it for the masses and so the police clamped down (which was the right thing to do.... Their country their rules) resulting in a somewhat farce with regards to holding all weapons in one place, guarded by unarmed individuals (which made the whole thing a bit pointless) however, we came and acted like kids.by not playing by the rules.......so they treat us like kids. And our black powder was strictly monitored for the guns which was a shame.
Unless something else happened that I was unaware of, the XXX CORPS run 2014 has set the bar for all other shows and runs.....IMHO This year, different country, different rules, all have been posted up on the companies page, relating mainly to what the vehicles must have onboard..... As time draws closer I am sure Mr King will append the firearms legislation, same as last time. Anyway.. Back to the rather nice carrier that is the focus of this thread.

Hi Mike,
Good to see you on here. I've left a NOS Carrier Inspection Lamp at the barn this morning with Paul, think it will be perfect for you...if you don't have one already! Cheers

Maybe Armour-All would be betterto soak them in? I have used that on the rubber cones on the Mk7 Microphones of my WS 19 headsets to good results.

Hi Mike
Welcome. I would use a rubber/nylon lubricant on any old rubber. Car supermarkets sell it for weather strips etc - I got mine from Halfords . It wont make it a lot better - nothing will, but it will stop it drying out further and cracking more Rick

Soaked some rubber items at bluebird in aviation hyd oil and it resurected them a treat.... Must have been luck.
You could use the originals as patterns and cast some more ?
