fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

[Lynn Eades]

Just for the general info, here is an original NOS MkI UC mirror arm.
Sorry, I have cut the top off in the photo. The shaft is plain to the top, as seen.

Got my new gas tank ( a 800 Km drive but made a vacation out of it ) . The fuel pick - up and screen are there . Very happy with my new «*tank*» . Very complete , only missing the 6 V electric sender everything else is there with all MKII Canadian part numbers. Original paint. Both vents, brass cap with retainer , Inside baffles .Last picture is the sump or drain and we see part of the screen from the fuel pick up line . Nice find. Thanks for the heads up George ( Brengunman ) from Saskatchewan and Grant Bowker for posting the link.

that seem like a big ride but hey who what is good good luck with your project

[Robert Bergeron]

Many thanks Sam . It is quite a project. More involved than i first thought but with the help of the MLU community i clear hurdles and go forward .

Hi all . Here is my original MK II Carrier overflow tank completely restored , painted and ready to be installed . Thank-you Super Dave for the core .
Used some leftover Olive Drab paint for now. Speaking of paint here is another $ 1 M question : What colour should a 1944 Canadian No 2 MII * Carrier should be ? What’s the nearest modern equivalent ? Were there colour variations ? So many questions ..

[Robert Bergeron]

Recovery tank in place. Perfect fit in the holes already there in the div wall . To the left of the picture, the tank vent fixture . Next , a new gas tank as soon as i come back from my next adventure . More to follow.

Factory colour would be a matt (really matt) olive drab. Similar to the standard American 34087 something but a little greener.

Thanks Bruce , will be working on that when i come back . Is the tank green enough or would you go for darker ?

Meanwhile , more pics of the recovery tank.

Two bolts on top , one bolt at the bottom.

Vent on top , outlet / inlet on the bottom.
