Beginning a new carrier restoration
After getting my Humber Mk4 Armoured car finished ( well, 99.9% finished.. they never really are) I have purchased a Mk1 project.
It has been about 10 years since my last carrier project so a lot has happened in the carrier world since then. Does anyone know if All Era Militaria is still selling repro bins and boxes? Is anyone else selling such things? Anyone making up Mk1 gas tanks? Looking for a radiator cap. The one on mine was nicked. All the best, Jim

Hi Jim
Try John Bizal @ Midwest Military. He did a great job on his MK1 and had to reproduce many of the sheet metal bins, boxes and components. He has quite an extensive offering of these type accessories on his website. Many carrier parts are becoming very difficult to source and supplies are drying up since your last restoration. The interest in the UC world has expanded greatly during the last few years... -Chris

Hi Kevin!
My family is going to be coming to the states for a vist this year, so It looks like the 0p70 event to Arnhem will be my next visit. If that changes, I iwll then try to schedule it for W&P timeframe.
All the best! Jim

seeking contact with Ben Hawkins - re: Carrier gas tanks
Is Ben on MLU with a different name than "Ben Hawkins"? The PM system can't find that name....
Cheers, Jim
