Default Australian Carrier track tension springs

Hi, They had an australian LP carrier at the war and peace show, I took a picture of the track tension spring and am convinced its the same type used on an early british or Canadian carrier track tensioner.

Can anyone confirm this ?. Also if it is the same I need two for my carrier.

thanks kevin.

One for Colin Jones to answer as he is reproducing the springs.
They are an excellent repo and well priced.

I'd be interested in a set too. I know of one other who needs a set, we might have enough interest to make a small batch worth while.

I too have a set of Colin's springs - for the Mk1 Scout Carrier and I can thoroughly recommend the quality - and reasonable price...

Cheers
Phill

I'll take two as well please, it might be worth waiting a day or two as I've pointed someone else towards a set.

Please pm or email me with the details, I'm happy to share any postage with Kevin if that works out best......

Thanks

Ben

colin and paul, I think we now have 4 sets in total (8 springs) wanted in the uk, if your postage quote remains the same for eight springs colin, i will send you the paypal funds for 4 sets and we can distribute out from my address.

If anyone else in the uk want them then get in quick.

thanks kevin.
