Carrier - cast parts round 3
Hi
Having spoken to Shaun and Kevin earlier in the year we decided to do a run of more cast parts. This time it will be the bracket for the smoke discharger fitted on the right side hull armour TL 12458 and the catches found on the lockers TL 2901 & TL 12499. All will be steel, I'm going to the foundry this week all being well so i'll get some quotes. As before they will be cast off new patterns that have been made to allow for shrinkage. This time i haven't added the part numbers as last time this caused some members to have issues with authenticity of real parts against reproductions. other than the part numbers they are identical. More details later in the week. Cheers Ben

Ben, I would like part numbers on mine, if people dont want them they can always file them off. I cant recall this being up for discussion.

Ben told me with regards the catches at least that he'd made several attempts to add the part numbers, and he wasnt happy with the result. I my self am happy to have my catches with no part numbers. Just to have them will be fantastic.

The latches won't have the numbers as they are too small to recreate and look reasonable.
The smoke bracket original that I copied has the numbers, date etc but the numbers are so close together and disguised by the texture of the sand casting that they are almost unreadable. I'll have a look at copying the numbers but they results may be less than ideal. Ben

I would be interested in a discharger bracket, are the latches not identical to chieftain latches ?
