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

Quick question, does anyone possess any plans, rough drawings, dimensions ect of the front armoured plates on a carrier- the ones that form the shield for the gun and driver and have the vision shutters attached to. As you can see from the photos up the top of this thread, mine have been removed away at so point in its life. Its seems to be easy enough to cut the plates to the right shape and size but i am more interested in knowing exactly where the vision shutter holes and mounts are to be cut and install. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if the topic has been covered in another thread.
Nathan
