Bob -

Had a look ref your number '8119'....this is not the veh T-number as this would then refer to a Matilda II. I suggest this might be the Manufacturer's number - can you see if there is a T-No on the armour upper edges...?

Red face MK I carrier restoration.

Hello Bob
The ultimate sporce of carrier information is Nigel Watsons books on the " Universal Carriersvol I and vol II". Beg, borrow, steal or buy direct from Nigel in Scotland. Well worth every penny.
Vol I lists all the carriers alloted to Cdn units, the nearest serial # to yours is 819 which was issued to M.T. Borden.
If you are planning to install a radio, Sir Plus in the west Ed mall had about 20 WS 19 sets a year ago.
I also need the rubber on my wheels redone, 2 have no rubber at all, but the idlers are in perfect condition.
I have my MK I carrier listed under the restoration section.

Regards
Roberta Melville
