Gordon, Carriers are the same. I believe the moment that British influence touched a design of anything, that becomes the status quo.
"British Standard" means: No!, there is not a captive nut in the bottom at the back. There is a series of nuts and split pins, and any doubt about that should just fly away, because you can clearly see that you can't get two fingers in there.

Default Why move the floor.....

....cause you need to slide the tranny backward to get the input shaft out AND the shifting tower needs to be removed for clearance....... since I had put some ultra violet coloring agent in the tranny to detect leak I did not want to remove the cover and create additional drippings...... tranny was empty but that yellow/lime coloring get into every nook and cranny....... that why I spotted some yellow coloring on the very end of the input splined shaft right into the pilot bearing of the crankshaft....... only way to get there is if the oi llevel is too high and it creeps by the bearing seal and into the input horn....allowing it to drip on the back face of the clutch disk....... the coloring drys to a yellow/lime stain that can be washed with brake cleaner.

....and found some GL 4 "yellow metal" friendly gear oil in 80/90 in Ottawa.

Cheers

Default How Long

Terry

It several years from start to finish. The cab base is from a C60 converted to the HUP configuration. The inner fenders are unique and I had to rebuild them. The floor and rear body are easily formed and welded. The roof section was made in a jig on the shop floor with new omega/hat channel and new roof hatch. Had good rear fenders, running board and gas tank armour plates, made new gas tanks. Had all five doors and re-skinned four of them.
