Wish to all forum members all the best in 2019 and here are few pics of my carrier from my very talented friend (summer 2018). Hope you will enjoy them as I did.

Nice piece of work Petr,and that it's going slow seems no problem cause you still can drive with your carrier

After a long time, I manage to do at least something on the carrier.
Using my favourite redneck method of steel forming (hammer & heat) I prepared two wading plates to be welded on the firing cover

When I was at Bovington I found an interesting difference on the wading plates on the firing cover. The right one had on the top and on the bottom end semi-circle recess, which doesn't make a sense to me. Now I got the point - it's a place for two rivet heads, which are not obviously present on the Bovington's carrier but are on each Mk.II/III firing cover. Interesting detail

It looks more like a "jungle warfare" this summer in my country, but it was fun anyway

Its new year, time to do something on the carrier. So lets start very slowly
Two small parts done, its interesting that this "drivers aiming feature" (really dont know the correct name of this part ) is on the mk.III carriers spot welded with 90° flanges but on all other carriers its just rod welded without the flanges. Last pic is more for us catholics guys - Three Kings (or 3 Wise Men) visited me today in the garrage, so Drsnak is blessed now

Hello Petr,
That's good CAD work! I have an original Bren Barrel box for a UK Mk2 Carrier. I was planning to fit it to my Mk1*, if you can find a Mk1 box I would happily swap it with you. Regards, Tom

If you find one for a mk1 let me know and we can do a swap.
Will you guys be on the Garrison training weekend this year? I’m hoping to take the Carrier out if it’s road registered in time.
