Seems I’m a few years too late piecing my carrier together. Lots of items were being reproduced like your hooks, grips were being done, antenna mounts etc.
I guess I’ll continue looking for original parts or make up what I can on my own.
One bonus on working on my carrier now is all the research everyone here on the carrier forum has done over the years is now documented in all the posts and threads. Descriptions, measurements and photo’s of carrier items have been Well discussed and theories were turned into actual facts on a lot of questions. Thanks to all who researched and put in the effort for owners like me to now have the information to restore a carrier right this time. When I did my first carrier back in 1998 I didn’t have the information needed to get things like seat cushions sewn right or even the right material that was used. Now I hope doing this carrier I will have a more complete and authentic example.
Thank you,Derk
