Here's mine. Did they ever fit one on the left side as standard?... But then I did fit two to my Willys Jeep. I'm also very close to the shed door frame when backing out.......Artistic licence don't you know! Ron

Your mirror arms are incorrect which is where the confusion starts. It looks like you have chevy or else post war M-series arms. They should just be roundstock welded to a flat piece bolted to the hull.

Default Carrier horn

Very nice Carrier Ron , very nice . Did they all come with the Ford horn ? How is the horn hooked up ? Bracket ? Where is the switch for the driver to operate it ? I have had this Carrier for 4 years now and i still have plenty of questions !

Default Bren mag leather bag

Got this in the mail this morning. It is British, not Canadian. The part number attests to this but what a beauty ! It smells good also. Polished leather ! I admit that the Canadian version his cardboard , fragile and hard to find in good condition. Someone went overboard when this version was designed and ordered . It is so well done that it could be passed for a lady’s handbag . But in wartime ? A disposable item ? Comments welcome.

Over the years I've managed to collect a full contingent of Bren gun mag pouches for my carrier. I'd say these are more like Hog Skin than cow hide? But all war-time dated. Ron
