At last the hull is in the workshop, i have my cutting list for all the angle irons and repair patches for the hull plates, i have been a real rivet counter today and i need 230 rivets replacing. i think in 6 weeks the hull will be back to a sound unit ready to start the rebuild.
Im going for the real rivets, Graeme says its only a days work for his team to do that amount.

I think i recall seeing this on Martyns Mk2...or may have been his Mk1 ? it was during his build when he did two carriers together. mine is missing but to be fair i couldnt see any evidence of it being there in the first instance.
that carrier looks in a sorry state mind Maurice

i have seen a few on both British and Canadian carriers, but never on MK2's . i may still have a pattern or copy about. There was not one on this carrier i am now doing, which surprised me so i wonder if they stopped fitting them in production.

carrier cover
the picture is taken in a MKI , and in mine is also a MKI, it is held in place by 2 bolts wich also hold the bottom stearing bearing place to the hull.

You may be on to something there Shaun looking at the design of the peice i reckon it would be a nightmare for retaining water within the cam plate area where as without it a tap on the brakes would make the water run into the footwell i guess.

But every piece of equipment wich rolls to the cam area will block the steering , like emty shells the odd tool etc. From the other side it is coverred up as well , so not easy to free cam once blocked.

cam canvas cover
Hi, I think this cover arrangement was fitted latter on to the mk2's, this is Malcolms very original carrier, with the canvas part of that cover still in place. Hi, Maurice have you the linkage cover yet?.
