Default Carrier parts: MK-II* Mantlets

Guys,

I am getting a local fabrication shop to make me up 3 of the MK-II* mantlets. The first 3 pics are of the mantlets under construction. The last 2 are of an original MK-II* mantlet that I'm borrowing. While they are not exactly the same, they are going to look PDC - pretty damn close - once they have been polished, painted and installed.

3 MK-I* mantlets are next - decided to get the tough ones out of the way first.

Will post more pictures when they are done.

Cheers,

Getting the bends with the correct rad is the trick... The bend washes out as it meets the top of the plate. I was lockey enough to get access to a press with the right dies !

Default Completed fabrication - MK-1* & MK-11* Mantlets

Guys,

I just got back from being away last week. I will post pictures tomorrow evening of the mantlets. Charlie, I will be able to answer your pricing question shortly. I picked them up last Friday just before I headed off. My guy Steve was working on finishing them up last week while I was away.

Monday evening then…..

Default MK-1* Mantlets

Here are some pics of the MK-1* mantlets that I had fabricated. I was using a "borrowed" MK-II* mantlet as a pattern. I need these two but I can have more made up. They look PDC - pretty damn close! Cost is $335 Cdn each - without hinge pin or lock toggle. Send me a PM if you need dimensions or are interested in placing an order. I understand if the moderator wants to more this thread.
Regards, Richard

Default MK-11* Mantlets

Here are some pics of the MK-II* mantlets that I had fabricated and again, I was using a "borrowed" MK-II* mantlet as a pattern. I need these two so I have a spare 3rd. They look PDC - pretty damn close! Cost is $365 Cdn each - without folding front plate hinge, hinge pin or lock toggle. Send me a PM if you need dimensions or are interested in placing an order. I understand if the moderator wants to more this thread. Proceeds of the sales of the mantlets will assist me in donating one of these mantlets to the Huntsville Legion's MK-II carrier that is missing it's front mantlet.
Regards, Richard
