Hi guys new to the forum. I was the one that bought it. Yes the carrier now lives west of lightning ridge undergoing a full restoration . Currently replacing plates that have been removed in its life.

On another note, i have a spare bare diff if anyone is interested in swapping for other parts?

Will post pics soon.

Hull number is LPN02A 1824 FORD NSW

Regards, Nathan

Default Carrier #1824

Hi Nathan and welcome. Firstly data on your Carrier. It was built under Contract No. MON62 by Ford NSW (Homebush) in 1941/42. The original engine number was 1G6478F with the Army Registration Number (ARN) being C25469.

Of particular interest is that one of our forum members, Justin Pollard, possess a photograph of his grandfather posing with this Carrier during WW2.

You two need to network.

Bob

Bob, possible a typo.
The AWM record indicates that this is:
ARN 25649
Eng # 1G6478F
Ford Carrier LP2A
Hull # 1824

see attached pic

I have a BGC engine just a few numbers from this.

Hi Darrin - sorry, typo on my part, ARN is C25649.

Nathan, as I said, you need to network with Justin. I am sure he will catch up with this thread.
