Beautiful work, Dale. Congratulations!

Are you going to put your feet up for a while when finally done and enjoy your efforts for a bit. or has a little voice in the back of your head already started nattering at you about 'a next project'?

David

I had a little bit of spare time over the last couple of days to sandblast tidy up and paint khaki green no 3 on my flare box . I will paint the red white and green on the lid in the next couple of days . Thanks to Euan and Darrin for their photos

PS thanks for your comments David and Lance .. My carrier is at a good stage now as I'm not going backward to go forward , each time I add a part it for good . I have had lots of help from MLU members as I'm not very mechanical minded I hope my post help other Aussie carrier builders . Dale

Here is a photo of my track they are 90% in excellent condition , but I have 25 to 30 links that need up dating on one track tail . so I'm hoping some one can help me out on MLU . My track looks like it has not been used much as it still has the casting lugs on the centre sprocket hole . If some one can help me out PM me . Dale

Today I painted up the three colours on the flare box lid . From Darrins and Euan photos it looks like some where painted with the colour going around the corners of the lid , or flat on top . Dale

Can some-one help me out with what the retaining clip that hold the hand brake cable into position on the hand brake looks like , also the clamp that holds it at it's end to the bracket on the lower hull front . I can't find any info in the parts book . If any one has some spare for sale I'll buy . Dale
