Homemade Carrier track jack
Friends, while waiting for my gas tank i continued working on a few odds and ends to improve the Carrier. The mirror stems are painted and installed . The B set antenna base ( No8) came back from England and Richie did a great job in restoring it. It looks NOS. Kudos Richie. In these pictures you will recognize ( well some of you will from prior service ) a M113 APC track jack . I grinded the ends of the claws to fit Carrier tracks and voilà ! My very own homemade Carrier track jack that i can actually use in the field without fear of it breaking or of losing it .

Final coat of matte black paint on mirror stem
My source tells me they were painted black . So here it is . My new mirror stem for the MkII Carrier made of steel round stock with one end heated and flattened.

My Carrier which like Ron's is a Canadian No2 MK2* and has a mirror stalk the same as Roberts new ones rather than with an adjustable mount that Ron's has! I am not surprised that they differ. A friend of mine has a Carrier again a Canadian No2 MK2* with a build date only 5 months different from mine but we constantly notice numerous differences between them. I think these may be due partly to the evolution of parts sourced at the different build times and partly to changes made in service when items have been replaced by what was available.

Mirror stem
Thanks Rob, Ron & Mike . All good info. According to my knowledgeable source , the stem is 10” overall and the rod bearing the mirror is 6.5 “ long. I’ve made mine a bit longer c’ause i play in traffic with my Carrier and i wanted to see over the entire width of the road behind me . I have to deal with logging and wood chip trucks on my nearby playground and they go really fast .
