I drew up the dimensions of the park brake cover so I hope they are legible. It is a very difficult item to try and draw up the measurements on.

I have talked with Midwest Military and when I get home in May, I am going to send him my original. He will manufacture copies for the market. His repros are quite good, so if you can wait, you can get the next best thing to NOS.

I have not had much time to work on the carrier lately as I have had a lot of regular work with very little to non to work on it but I had a local machinist make up some gas tank filler necks as I have to make up some gas tanks and the bolt with grooved washer for the generator/fan extension (thanks lynn for your help on the dimensions).

It has been some time since my last update but I have been able to put in some time on it this year. This spring I was able to install the new mud guards I had made up as the old ones were removed from the previous owner. It was a lot of work to drill over 200 holes for the rivets and the bins and about half of them were counter sunk.

Some more pictures of the newly installed mud guards. I also recruited the help of my dad to hold the bucking bar.

I also had to fab up some replacement parts for it a well so I had borrowed some of the parts from Doug Lavoie to copy them from.
