Box where I found tracklinks and pinns. Lid has broken hinges and there was a lot of rust in here.
Please, can anyone help me with an engine parts source. Are engineparts "of the shelf" parts or special for the UC?

I think that box is the one that should sit infront of the gunner, as that box has the rebate for the push rod to move under it, does it still have the lid ? get it shot blasted and saved ! John Bizal charges circa 250 bucks for one of those (repro)
glad you got her home mate well done ! Richie I could have sworn this was a mk1  it has the tank breathers on ala Mk1 and the gauge cluster looks mk1 however the gunners seat is mk2, the battery position is mk2.... i am still think its a Mk1 though if the number on the side is original it deffinately is. The tank breathers mounted onto the side hull was a Mk1 only design (so i am told)..... like anything, stuff gets moved around and if broken it is superseaded by later available parts.... for instance mine is certainly an early Mk1 but has Mk2 seat back brackets. As for the engine stuff 99% of the bits can be obtained no probs and not expensive either, you need to know what flathead you have, check for data plates, also by counting the head studs lets us know if it was a "Biggun" or a "Lillun" hehehehe

Rusted box
Richard that rusty box is not the tool box from the front left, because it would also have the rebate for the bell crank in it. I'd say it was made for where it is, due to the angle the rod runs under it at..... Underkistumble?

Well Done!
Congratulations Erik!
And I am astounded at the condition after all those years uncovered. Here in Australia Carriers seem to suffer far worse from rust than yours!! Regards Alex

You know you can always use the hand crank to start the motor if you don't have a starter for it.... just need a good arm, alot of determination, some elbow greese, and a good supply of cuss words!!.. I know that wasn't funny but I just had to throw that in .... LOL .... Harold

In fact the Mk1 British manual for my Scout Carrier recommends always using the hand crank to start UNLESS the engine is already warmed up !
Cheers Phill
