Carrier armour
Tole conducter is the plate at the rear end of the carrier .When carriers were made in Canada they did not know what a (mm) was .It was all imperial measurements .When I last measured the side plate I got 1/4 " .Now if some one wants ,I can measure the thickness of all my arnour now that this Canadian knows what metric is . Could it have been possible that in UK they were metric and in Canada they were imperial . That reminds me a return soldier told me They made the CMP in Canada with right hand drive for driving on the left hand side ,and when they got to Eruope they drove on the right hand side
We have a real screw up in Canada with the two measurements .A truck can have both sizes of nuts on it The housing industry has gone back to the imperial system George

George, it would certainly help me. or anyone else who may undertake a carrier without armour plating.

carrier armour
I'll get these mesurements next week .I'm working on my 42WLC and am going for parts this week end . The side covers on the motor is a double plate and could be a little hard to make .I will get a measurement of them . for a MKII .The MKI are different .What I need is the measurments for the hitch on the back I have the spring and hook .I need the two arms from the carrier to the spring . George

George and Richard
Both the Canadian and British built carriers are built with metric plate. although in saying that there is some variation in the thichness of the vertical front armour between the two. This matters when installing new plate to the old frame work when you are able to use the original "box", that protects the steering box. Greg McDell can give you specifics on this, as he is my source of info. I have the most of the front armour for both,(non folding Mk1) but they are currently inaccessable.
The difference is such that the screws/bolts etc. for the shutters are different lengths.
