Excellent work, Alastair! Realy impressive to see what you've made from those wrecks

I reccomend watching the video - it is very interesting to see, learns you a lot about how the Loyd Carrier.

Excellent video Alistair, you and your camera girl could easily do a telly program! Ron

I enjoyed it as well Alistair. With the body off, we can see the innards of her which we won't be able to do, when she is finished. It will be a shame to bury all your hard work.

Alistair, going back to post#65, I see you have the later type seal arrangement.
What did you do about the (outer) felt seal? Did you have circles cut or have you done them with strips?
What are you planning for the generator?

Lynn,
I had new ones cut by a friend who worked at an industrial seal company, I just sent an original, both for the main road wheels and the return rollers. They are complete circles.
I have a couple of dynamos, but I will leave that right until the end as I’d like to save up and fit one of those Alternators made to look like a dynamo.

A little Loyd update on YouTube. Perhaps 2021 will be the year it gets mobile!
