2Pdr Attack Carrier
Busy working on an attack carrier that I bought recently. Mostly all there but does anyone know where I might be able to find the steel conduit for the wiring and even headlights?
I have the gun almost complete except for the shield and a few other bits and pieces and am currently working on the wheels. Have also remade the front mudguards so thats another job thats sorted |

As I recall one of the conduit threads is the same as UNF. If you still need to cut / clean threads look for a set of conduit dies, which are sometimes available from older electricians. They usually come in a 3 die set (1/2", 3/4", 1") The 1/2" is too small for carriers, but was the common size used in houses. At least over here anyhoo.

Or if you want period looking conduit and fixings . . .
My local Aviation Trust we’re getting all the electrics renewed in one of their outbuildings and throwing away all the original ww2 electrical conduits, junction boxes, elbows, T-pieces and clips etc. All beautiful condition and can’t get more period than that Just a thought as a lot of modern stuff is metric (here in uk anyways)

Can confirm that 3/4 UNF is the thread size for the smaller pipes.
3/4 BSP for the bigger. Just did my electrical parts recently and installed them. |

Pipe threads
Rob,
Pipe threads are both BS Electrical Conduit Thread. I have a set that you can borrow if you need them. PM sent.
