Default My wife hasn't seen it yet

This is my new baby. Parking her for the winter outside. I have one of those big old canvas tarps. Too bad it wasn't camo colour, might fool the boss for a bit. I have lots of questions like where do I find armor, and a dash, a generator, several idlers with good rubber, all the accessories, I need to see Santa again. Phil

has that back plate been cut afterwards or was it angled like that from factory ?

Welcome to the nightmare of Armourless carriers, iam trying to find someone who would be willing to measure up armour on their carrier plotting all the holes and visors so i can CAD them, once that is done the file can be emailed to anyone in your predicament to get the sheet metal cut on a water jet. the next problem would be getting toolage to rivet them on as they should be.

i have heard you can get road wheels re done (here in the UK) for circa £40 per wheel, this would include idlers or any wheel with a rubber band person to speak with is Clive Hughes from www.milweb.net (Hughs movie supplies) make sure you speak with Clive and Not Ian as its Clive that is well clued up on carriers and is a really nice bloke indeed !

good luck with your quest buddy

Richard

yes please, Phill and a fair old few others could benefit from anyone willing to give measurements etc. I will create a thread for this rather than continue to Hijack Phils thread.

Phil. it looks like you have a great basis for a fantastic carrier i am greatly jealous

These panels are left overs from my carrier restauration , I also have a right side for a carrier , but it has a hole in it . These pannels are from a Mk1 . I got also most of the rest as a pattern .
