Hi Guys,
New here, i have been looking for a carrier for a long time to rebuild but keep coming second ! Is this guy making these for other people, would he make me one ? seems the only answer and probably cost effective. People build "new" WW2 jeeps with new everything on them.

Pete

i have discussed this with him before, but the cnter bulkhead requires quite alot of fettling, as daft as it may sound he has all the patterns to be able to flat pack a mk1 or mk2 carrier including all linkages based on you having your own drive line (track wheels diff etc etc)

a really nice bloke too !

Richard,

I would be very interested in someone that could mfg & ship me all of the flat metal pieces for the air inlet and engine cover. I am fabricating the side & rear armor as well as tool plate as we speak. I can get the sheet metal engine cover panels from Midwest Military. However, I am in Oklahoma USA and only have photos to go by as to the dimensions of the air inlet & engine covers.

If you could pass this interest along to the craftsman and ask him if he has any interest it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ross
