I’m still trying to sort out the problem with a cooker fitting in the bracket. The bracket is 8 3/4” square. Both the stoves No. 2 Mk.1 & 2 are bigger than that. The Mk.1 being the slightly bigger of the two at 9 3/8” square. The Mk.2 is 9 1/4” x 9 1/8”. The pins near the bottom of the stoves have no affect on the fit. I’ve read that some of the Carrier owners have the same problem. At this point, I may have the bracket cut out and a larger one made to replace it.

Jesse.

Someone recently ran into the same problem on the Carrier Forum. Might have something to do with nomenclature staying the same over time for the cookers, but them changing dimensionally.

The No.2 Mk.1 predates the vehicle.

Jesse,

Don't cut that bracket out just yet.

I have been researching Canadian use of No. 2 Portable Cookers and I have found some very interesting information. I will put all of the information together and start a new thread soon.

No hurry. I still have a passion for the vehicles, but can’t do anything with them. The Sexton (and the others) are basically mothballed right now until we know more about what the future holds. I can’t work on it or drive it. I was the driving force in our reenacting unit so there’s not much going on there at all. We had one other trained driver for it but he had some some serious knee issues and couldn’t drive it either. Fortunately, for it could have been much worse, I was rear ended while on the job, and have been receiving full pay since the accident. Eventually there will be at least one settlement. Then we can make decisions about the future.
