In Kiwi speak "yeah, naahh. She'll be right, thanks all the same Mate"
You did warn me, but I'm looking for a good one. How many carriers did Ford of Canada build? Somebody in Canada must have one.
T80889 looks like a good project. Is the front armour off a different carrier?How about pics of the inside?

Default Still Looking.

I thought I'd bump my ad. As yet no result. Someone must have one.

Lynn,
In the past i have used a Daimler Ferret wheel, you have to make an adaptor for the centre as the Ferret has a larger taper and you have to fit the wheel with the smaller cone inwards, also you have to remove a spoke as they are a 4 spoke wheel. apart from that they are vitually the same and no one ever spotted the difference. If you can't find a genuine one it would get you out of a muddle. i think Macus Glenn has them for sale at not a lot of at all, new and still in the box.they are on his website.

Default Carrier Steering Wheel

Hi Lynn - just had a look at Oz Carriers steering wheels. They don't look much different to the Canadian ones. What is the difference?

LP wheels have a thicker rim and spokes. They also have more cut outs around the rim for your fingers if I remember right? Very different wheels up close.

I'd be going for one of Ross H's alloy replicas. Very nicely made and none of the problems of rotting out. Yeah they aren't "Genuine" but we won't go down that road....
