fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Robert. maybe at post #34 this should have been a new thread so that in future this stuff can be found again. I never replied on the mirror because Ron had it covered.
Great info and pics coming through.

Very interesting my friends Lynn, David , Mike and Ron , Herbert and Rob . Did i forget someone ? I actually started a thread on adding a gas tank and selector to my Carrier but as we go new subjects come up. I have seen canvas dividers actually sewn into the Canadian ammo bag . I have an example somewhere in the Carrier shed and i will take pictures . But a canvas take out for the British leather ( Pig and Cowhide ) that’s a new one on me . Be my guest Lynn and split the thread . Amazing how the more you get to know the Carrier the more you discover .Cheers . Bob

Robert, it is your thread. I was just making a suggestion.
I'll just never be able to find the info in a year or so.

MODERATOR : Please create new thread titled MKII Carrier Bren mag pouches starting at # 34.

Here are a few more pictures of the Bren mag bags . The Canadian version ( credit to Terry W for this particular example ) has a short and a long canvas strap . The short on is to grab by hand and the long is to shoulder the bag thus you can carry a few around your neck/ shoulders . That would indicate to me they were meant to be taken out of the vehicle altogether. The British version it seems had an internal canvas bag with a shoulder strap . The leather bag would i presume stay with the Carrier .

Inside the Canadian waterproofed cardboard mag box.No dividers . I do not know of a removable canvas pouch that would fit inside. Anyone else with info ?

Hi all. Here is the result for the MkII mirror stems primed and ready for black matte paint. I Actually went to see a blacksmith who had round stock in stock . He heated the end and flattened it then punched the holes for the bolts . Nice experience. It seems that’s how it was done in the day . Thanks for the advice Rob and Michael .
