Upper Armour Shipment to Ontario
Guys,
I've order 3 pieces of upper armour from Rick and I need them shipped to my location near Bracebridge, Ontario. Is there anyone else out there that has ordered armour from Rick and needs it shipped to Ontario as well? Rick said that he would bundle the orders together for shipment. I have a warehouse dock and forklift here so I can unload either a flatbed or van style semi-trailer. Let me know if you want to share the freight costs. Cheers, Richard

Reproduction Armour Installed
Hello,
Last weekend, our crew installed 3 pieces of MkII frontal armour on the Huntsville Legion Bren Carrier. Instead of rivets, we used 1" long Spaenaur carriage bolts and corresponding 3/8" acorn nuts. The installation was fairly straightforward once we completed "fit" grinding. It was nice to work in a well equipped, warm garage after making the 6km transit from the Huntsville Legion where the carrier is stored in it's enclosure. After letting the paint dry, we were able to scoot it back to the Legion on Sunday in time for Monday's Remembrance Day parade. Thanks Rick for getting our order finished and mailed (via Canada Post) such that we had time to install. A couple of more pieces to go and we will have the frontal armour complete. Cheers!

Hello Richard,
We would have liked to rivet the armour but we only had 1 afternoon to get it fitted and only that evening to get it painted. It was a tight schedule and the Legion is more concerned about the "look" rather than a historically "correct" carrier refurbishment. I still owe you an email about rivets for my carrier. I'm working on engines and transmission at the moment. Regards,

Thought it might be worthwhile to bring this thread forward.
