In behalf of PetrB:
"Today I got surprised by my carrier (first but certainly not the last time )
I spent many hours trying to take out pulley from the generator. When I had almost gave up (and partialy damaged pulley and shaft) I accidentaly found out that this generator has threaded pulley instead of usual woodruff key.
Its Ford Canada 6V 32A generator.
So beware! "

Hello all, I'm in - thank you Hanno!!!
Happy I can join this great forum and share with you my project's updates.
I'm slowly getting there, some parts primed, some repaired, currently working on the transmission (still waiting for new reverse idler gear) and carburetor. Lot of work ahead but it's a part of fun, right?

Hi Petr, Welcome to the forum.
I have a British MkIII Armoured O.P. (AOP)
The MkIII had no air duct (scoop)
Mine has the same access plate at the front as yours.
You have some parts that I don't know, and 1 I would like measurements from (the wiring cover in the first photo,on the left)

Would you be able to post photos of the engine bay?

Surely, no problem, will send you dimensions a detailed photos. Do you mean this one - marked with arrow?
Check pics - this is all I have got from the engine covers.

Hi Petr (correct this time) that is the one. The cover for the cables beside the driver.
Have you established where your carrier was made yet? (Canada or U.K.)
I would like to see a photo of the engine bed rails.
