Default Scanned carrier parts

Carrier Community,

I have just finished scanning and cleaning up the drawings of two parts. I have dxf. drawings of both the steering cam and the e-brake paw for those of you that want them. The dxf. file type can be taken to a laser guy to have new parts made up. Both parts are for Canadian/English carriers. I have no idea how the corresponding parts on the carriers from down under differ. The e-brake part was scanned from a perfect example and I am confident of its size shape and tolerance. The cam plate I developed was scanned from a very, very poor example. It was very damaged and corroded. That scan gave me a part with left and right sides that were not a mirror of one another. After a comparison of left and right contours, and creating curves that were a best fit of the two I created a true mirrored drawing. I had a part made up from this drawing. It fits and bolts up well but I do not have running carrier to relate to you the performance of the part. Send me a PM with your email address if you are interested in either or both.

Default Australian Carriers

The LP2 and 2A used a Ford car type emergency brake like this one (although the mounting bracket is a bit different) this one can be used with a bit of adapting.



It was also used on Australian Ford No 8 and 9 gun tractors for the winch handbrake. I have some of these NOS if anyone wants one send me a PM.

Steve . the steering cam in your post liiks similar to the ausie version. the handbeake ratchet may be a standard ford part . the parts book may list a ford number. if the extreme boltholes line up with the ones on the lid of the gearbx you may be in buisness.
