A few shots from the airshow
So I put in a few long days prior to the airshow and got the carrier to a presentable condition, still have a bit of work to do as gearbox has a rumbling input bearing and theres a bit of tracking at the dizzy thats causing it to run like dogshit, although prior to tracking it did sound pretty good as I got some exhaust pipe bent up replicating the Tekapo exhaust conversion. whilst doing a few laps of the track on Sunday morning I threw a track doing doughnuts (cos everyone was doing them). Enjoy the photos.

couple more photos
I need to take a few links out of both sides as after a bit of driving the tracks loosened up quite a bit, the camera on the gunners armour was to record me doing a bit of driving (may have captured some choice words as the track fell off) . The other photos are of the carriers lined up on Sun morning then later that afternoon prior to the battle, last photo is my son keen as to go for his first ride off road in my carrier, not sure who had the bigger grin him or me.

I didnt take any photos of the back of the mortar carrier, if you get in touch with Dave Hardway/ Bedford boys they should be able to help.

Dizzy troubles....
I got into the carrier today finally (been waterproofing a leaky old caravan that has sucked up all my spare time) pulled off the dizzy cap to check for the cause of the miss, their was a little bit of dust inside the cap so i cleaned that up, took off the rotor arm. Bugger me, found the cause, spark had erroded a hole thru the arm and had been sneaking out thru the dizzy shaft.
So as your common old tightarse I got in and cleaned it up then filled the hole with fiberglass resin, waited for it to set filed it smooth and coated it with nail polish varnish. Made up a better set of HT leads, I will let you know how it goes.......

Carriers all
Just found MLU. Good looking carrier Lew.took 3 years to do mine. Notice in your hull a hole with 4bolt holes just in front of the the rear road wheel carrier. Not in mine so wondered what it's for? Mine was built in Adelaide No4354.

Its an exhaust hole
Hi Ric, this carrier was used in the south island, due to the hot exhaust pipes catching the long tussock on fire some carriers recieved the "Tekapo" conversion. Basically the exhaust comes off the manifold and is piped out the Side of the hull. No mufflers required. I was out in the shed with the carrier running yesterday after putting the dizzy back just enjoying the exhaust note at vairing rev ranges.
