Mk1* carrier axle bellows... Are they mandatory for show use ?
As per the title folks, mine are Kaput, and before I embark on either making some more, or buying some, are they mandatory ? How much crud gets in there without them on ?
Just it's going to delay getting the thing back on its wheels.

Richard, assuming you are talking about the fabricated leather ones, on the alloy end of the brake bisector, and not the ones that seal the back of the hull, then yes, I'd say they are absolutely essential.
If you want your brakes to work, you need to protect the inner workings of the bisectors.(actuators)

if you mean the bellows that cover the sliding axle rollers then I wouldn't worry about it too much as I don't have them fitted on mine and I haven't had any issues, however having said that my carrier was a bit of a lash up ! done quickly so I could display it as soon as poss. if I had more time I would do it properly so there you have it, if you are in a hurry then leave them off, if there's no rush then do it right first time. just so long as it's ready for it's debut at next years war and peace

Yes will be ready.. Just need to find out how much it's going to cripple me to get it there. That's my problem..... Between now and then I also need to persuade Shaun to paint his carrier 1943 Sicily style, and wear his desert 5th div kit
 Does anyone know where I can get the leather bellows ? Lynn it's the sliding axle I was referring to. I have replaced the ones on the brakes.
