Hi Jordan,

The carrier looks great. It was great meeting you in Windsor. BTW it was the coil that was shot....She is back on the road and sharing my time with my M38 which I brought out of hibernation.

Cheers from the home of the Ford CMP

Mike, great to meet you also. Glad I could lend some assitance with your CMP.

Well I made of some floor boards the other day. No idea if this is what they originaly looked like but they work for me.

Lots of excitment to tell. First up I got two of the three brackets for the track adjusting bar that goes on the front of the hull. And secondly, my engine decided to call it quits while at an event. This was during the same weekend my Jeep also decided to stop working.

Anyway it spurred me on to get crakin on having a new flathead built for the carrier. Im rather excited as it will mean getting rid of the non original style engine for a correct one. So thankfuly my back hull plate unbolts. So far I have taken that off,the complete engine cover and one lower rail. The rad is out, Im now rebuilding the mounts. One thing I discovered when taking one of the heads off, was that I could lift the engine about 3/4". I guess the 67yrs old rubber mounts had called it quits. When I took the head off, I found the 3rd cylinder had coolant in it. Ive also decided to have the generator looked at and possibly overhauled, along with installing the oil cooler. I think its going to be a busy winter.

One interesting thing I found, I think my intake manifold is an army one. Going by the part number cast into the underside. Am I right in assuming this?
