For Sale: Carrier - cast parts round 3

[Perry Kitson]

The original round nuts for the upper engine covers were turned and knurled from round stock on a lathe. Very easy to duplicate and are virtually impossible to tell from the original, except the fact that they look new and have no pitting or wear.

Yes, the upper ones do seem to be machined. As they're not cast parts I'll officially hand that project over to someone else:-)

Hi, Those upper engine cover 'knurled' retainers come in two thread sizes, i think early carriers have smaller threads than latter Mk2, I have original ones here of both sizes.

Not that it matters for our purposes! But would those lower thumb screws more likely have been forged? (Hot metal under a press). It would seem a quicker way to stamp them out??

[Perry Kitson]

The two samples I have of the lower thumbscrews are forged. They have a wide seam and the part number is stamped in, which indicates a forging. You are absolutely correct, forging would be a faster way to mass produce these screws.

Hi

The time has come to place the order. If you haven't had an email from me but you do want parts can you let me know asap please?

smoke discharger bracket, lower thumb screws, latches, or any of the previous two batches parts.

I'll give it a couple of days to get the quantities in and then sort out the payment.

Thanks

Ben

Increased interest in the smoke discharger bracket has allowed the price to drop to £70.
