Here is the latest piece that I just finished. It is the hold down bracket for the arial rods. Most copies I have seen replicate the metal part but I was able to borrow an original from another MLU'er that still had the rubber insulator on. I made up a mold and cast rubber around the metal part just like the original. It even copied the cracks that the original had. The original is on the left.

Got another part underway. Its the bracket for holding the muzzle of the Boys Anti-Tank rifle. The red is all new made while the rubber parts are original.
My problem is that we couldn't find the correct diameter tubing to match the rubber even thought it matched the tubing on a second orginal bracket I had. Notice the part number/date cast into the side of the bottom rubber. As for making the rubber parts I may just make a core and cast the rubber directly into the metal bracket. The only down side is that it won't be removable like the original.

Well I finaly got around to making a front seat for the gunner. Its been 4 years and no luck in finding an original one. I did find one to borrow and copy from and here is the result. I cut out the parts and did some of the bending while my uncle did all the welding for me at work.
Ive just got to get two of the holes countersunk for the screws and its ready to be painted and installed. One more item to check off on the gradualy shrinking to-do-list.

Just got these latest goodies in the mail late last week. It is a wiring harness for the Carrier. All new made by Vintage Wiring of Maine.
It is extremly well done and top notch. The only bits missing are the wires for the horn and the battery-starter motor cables. He has the stuff to make them but didn't have any information on them. Hopefully I can save my orginals and get them off to him so that copies can be made. Once I get my conduit pipes all cleaned up and installed this wiring will be going in and the carrier will be changed back to 6 volt.
