Welcome Big Mike

Great that you joined the forum and welcome to the world of carrier owning.

Unfourtunately I can't help you with the parts that you need. Any chance of posting some photos of your carrier. Its always great to see what another has.

great to see another person has UC sicknes. i have CTL 34-35s, they are NEW and are made out of harder steel.
they are countersunk so the bearing fits in great. check out my web sit for more gear. if you send me a PIC of your carrier i will post it on my site.

Thanks Jorden , I'm happy to be aboard , since I don't know anyone in my area who owns a carrier, Just alot of Jeeps Halftracks Stuarts Chaffes M8's Motorbikes and troops, opps fergot to mention the Germs and Russians, just me and my little carrier lol, take care mate

When my wife buys me a Digital camera I'll get the pics out, Whats puzzling me is how do I explain that I bought a TANK? LOL

Cheers lads BIG MIKE

tell them its cheaper than a corvett, smaller then a hummer, better off road than a ATV, and well, its yours and they dont have one so get over it.

Thanks Dave, Thier all calling me up to join thier MV clubs since the carrier is a Unique Item and its BRITISH and it drives on the RIGHT, saying don't worry mike we will trailer it for you for free, I like that option. LOL Dave parts 34 is in good shape, 2 CTL-35a's and a new pivot, this old owner a 95 year old dude drove and steered the vehicle with the rear brakes, I made sure he put new ones in(brakes) before i bought it, witch he did. I wonder if you can get or who can make small parts for the carrier , ie like site ports covers, hindges, correct rivit bolts, guages, bren gun pogo stick mounts and the early carrier MG port mount, I might give it a wack and try to fabricate it myself. Cheers mate

Mike its not a tank. It's a track mounted skip bin. Two things. will proove this.
1. When you find out how hard it is to keep clean inside
2. When your wife puts the rubbish bags in it !
(If its the cam plate rollers that you need, I made some out of 4140 steel.- Have you bought some B.S. tools yet?)

Yes Lynn can you make me up a pair of Rollors with the brackets PLEASE B.S. tool? Just have a few tools to do the Job , But are looking for the CORRECT tool sets for the carrier, I wish I owned a Digital camera , it would be alot eayer to show you guys pics of my plite with my vehicle. Do you make the pivot plate too? anywho talk with you soon. Thanks mate

No I cannot! My situation has changed since I did them, but you will probably get what you want from or through the Canadian guys on this site.
