Richards carrier
Richard up here in the wastle lands there is a large marine engineering company...J.H.Wood Ltd. very capable and not afraid to tackle any type of job...Im sure they could make a reasonable facsimile of the armour required...at the moment son n0.2 is being schooled not far away from you in Seaton-Delavel so might well be able to pop over for a look-see...regards malcolm

huuuuray
 Well don rich, she's on her way, Rob's done a great job for you. get yourself some wooden blocks and four 50t jacks ready to strip her down. When it arrives and you unload it make sure you keep those securing straps, there yours you have paid for them!. I am guessing on two weeks from sailing depending were the boat stops first.Christmas has come early for you this year. Will she be ready for the 6th June? Kevin.

hahahahaha. nope but if i had armour ready to go, i reckon i could have her done for September no probs all be it the little nik naks would not be there...nevertheless a running road going carrier she would be. mind that would be a pedal to the metal resto, and i would prefer to take it slow and methodical, my aim is to produce a rebuild towards the quality of Horsa's T16, that is my benchmark

Cullercoats.
just had an email from the shipper saying the driver is charging for an extra 3 hours as the carrier needed secured properly...... hope this is not a trend for things to come. the carrier is pretty much jammed in there and the straps are cross format front and rear with the extra strap over the top i cannot fathom how it would take 3 hours to add one or two clicks per rachet strap. $195.00 onto my bill ! cant afford many extra costs like this. kevin what is the situation when being billed, do you get invoiced when it hits UK soil, and if so what is the time scale to finalise the bill ? cheers Rich

well done rich.
Well done, the waitings over, you look like you are going to be busy with that carrier, best thing is start to preserve what you have, drop the rear boggies refurbish them like new, strip the chassis, put on a couple of castor wheels on the front, put your rear boggies back on and wheel it down to be shot blasted, zinc prime it and begin the restoration.
that way your not looking at a lot of rust everytime you walk in the garage and it wont degrade further. will send you an e-mail shortly, whats happening in september?. well done rich, will try and get more details on that other carrier for you. cheers kev.
