Some pictures of my new carrier

[Jordan Baker]

HI everyone

I thought that I would post some more pictures of my carrier progress.

This first photo shows two of the parts I received from Rob Love (thanks again). They are the armoured parts that site either side of the rad. There is also a top plate the goes over the rad tank. Ive bolted them on so that I can see how they look and make sure everything lines up. The one on the left side was a pain in the a** to put on as there were only the lower two holes left in the plate and I was by myself. A third or fourth hand woudl have been really helpful. The plywood is being used as a basic pattern for the missing division plate. I still need to cut out the area for the armour plate that fits on the extreme left side.

One may notice that the fan, fan extension, generator and the rad cowl are gone. This is so they can be refinished during the winter months. The rad hoses are new tubing. I got them from an industrial liquid/tank place near me. The original use for the hoses is for marine exhaust. I figured that temp of the cooling fluid would never reach the same temp as an exhaust would. The hose also has a few layers of fiber for better strength.
