New carrier
That's some excellent work. Keep track of the cost and you might be able to make a good profit on NEW carriers.

cost of a carrier ?
Hi thanks, we have been keeping a record of the costs to build a new carrier hull works out at around £12k to build and rivet the hull then you have the cost and time taken to buy and refirb the suspention units etc.
Building a hull is the easy part if i could find more cast parts i could build more but would prefer to restore rather than build new but if some one was to ask...

exhaust
hi martyn, you taking her to beltring?. When you fit your exhaust, as i'm doing at the moment, an interesting note to remember is that there are two small drilled holes (3mm each) in the bottom muffler inlet pipe at the lowest point on each muffler to let the water out, nearly welded mine up thinking they should not be there.
 looking forward to seeing your carrier.
