Welcome to MLU and the carrier mob.
I bought an uncut carrier hull from Corowa about . 1975. It lay upside down in my yard for 30+ years while I collected enough parts to re-assemble it. It was at Corowa in 2008, much fun! I have been working on Fords since the 50's and have som\e carrier spares.

Barn find.....
Hello again,
Not much to update with the carrier, as there hasn't been much opportunity recently with work getting in the way.... Anyway, I wanted to post some pics of a recent barn find, while picking on a farm looking for BGC parts and other bits n pieces. They appear to be grenade boxes, and look like they were painted white originally, with the stencil applied to the front, and felt attached to the inside of the lid. The stencil reads: "GRENADE - SMOKE & THERMITE" What I don't know is from which vehicle they may have come from, and secondly if anyone out there might have a need or use for them in their restoration project? Given that they were painted white, I'm guessing that they originally came from a US produced armoured vehicle, as british vehicles were painted silver internally. Anyway, enjoy the attached pics. If anyone can shed any light as to their origin and use, or if they are useful for a restoration project, please let me know. Regards, Matt.

Just a quick update with some more progress pics. Small steps at the moment. I have also recently found some more parts that I was missing. These were found in a shed on a farm, the farmer had no idea what they were off originally, but had decided to keep them for "just in case"....
Enjoy.

Given the responses and interest in my previous post, I'm now considering having copies of the air intake duct work made using my originals as a template.
If anyone is interested, please pm me. I have no idea on price as yet....
