Having fun
 
5 Attachment(s)
Had our carrier at the Glenbrook Steam & Vintage Machinery show last weekend. Went well and found some banks and hills to really try our toy out on, talk about fun! Need some help with some measurements for our MK1 carrier please anyone. We want to know the dimensions of the rifle rest that is bolted to the top of the engine cover. Length, height, width etc. Also the position of the holes for this in the top engine cover plate, along with the holes for the fire extinguisher mount beside the rifle rest. Thanks for any help. Have inccluded photos & hopefully links to vids of us at play.

Wow!!
 
I can spin mine on pavement or even loose gravel, but a spin on grass!!?!! All I ever do on grass is dig the snot out of it and have to pluck it out of the running gear for days.

It looks to me like they've pulled those 8ba rods and crank, out, and tucked in in a 440 Dodge crank, and pistons. It looks great! I like your paint too.
