It's alive!
Hi folks
Update on Lance's Mk2 Carrier. Found a spare distributor adapter in a parts box. Installed that. Looked under engine but didn't find the old one. When using the starter to test the fit, one of the belts came off. Looked in the pullys and found the old adapter had lodged in the pully and that caused the belt to slip off. So, now the old adapter now as a spare. With tinkering on the gas system, we got it started and running. SOunds good, but need exhaust system connected. Engaged the gears and all engage, drove it into driveway and tested the brakes. As you can see from the pics, the left and right brakes lock up to allow a spot turn. Put it back in the barn now and have some wiring to do, then paint. Looking likely to make the winter Battle of the Bulge reenactment the end of January at Ft. Indiantown Gap PA.

Does this explain crop circles?
Hi Jim
Good to see another MV moving again, strange how little parts can find creative ways hide. Next question how long will the marks last on the driveway? Would be good answer for those parade organizator questions about will carriers damage the pavement. Cheers Phil
