Carrier rear step rubber
Hi
I've had a professional mould made to reproduce the rubber step pads found on the early Bren/MK1 rear tool plate. I've made new rubbers and i was wondering if there would be any interest in me making more for you guys? I've used a black polyurethane instead of rubber as i think it will last a little longer and has better UV properties, the flexibility is the same. They will be £15 each. Please see the photo of a new one with an original for comparison, any questions just ask Cheers Ben

The rubber was only on the first few thousand I think. They then switched to the diamond pattern treadplate.
But they do look very nice.

Thanks for that. We are all learners. Maybe that's what Ford of Canada did. Anybody know any more? I guess if your carrier has bolt holes, it should have a rubber tread. Are the diamond tread plates welded?
BTW. the sample does carry a TL number, and as with the other stuff Ben has done, They will be great! This is your chance.

yeah they phased in the diamond plates later to cut down on rubber usage i think the diamond plate is welded in but dont quote me.

Wow Mark!, I though you had about 30 ton of carrier stuff.
Didn't you tell me that? That went quick! I can't have been watching Trademe close enough.
