Another two carriers roll off the production line

Hi Ron
Ref the double ended nut adjuster we made them along with all the linkage parts, we decided to make everything even the bottom of the steering coloum the T shaped part as every thing was too rotten to reuse. its not worth cutting corners on these parts as they are not just your steering it the brakes too so every thing made new and tested. all the threads are metric m12 and the left hand thread is m14 as not to get it confused

Ron, I have some for the LP2 (u.n.f. thread) and some for the Eng/ Can. carriers (b.s.f. thread) So now Martyn, there's not much scope left for any variation now.

Martyn..
You can have all the knowledge and material in the world..and the machines to make the parts ..but if you do not have the knowledge to use the machines to turn the material into the parts you need..you have nothing...!!
Well done...beautiful work...

I just finished reading through the thread on your adventure in building your carrier, for what it's worth from a newby at restorations your project looks great. Being someone who has truck loads of enthusiasm but a VW load of skill and just finishing my jeep you have done a superb job. I hope you post video's of it moving.
