Hi
I am part of the team that works on this Bren Carrier MK2, we are looking for wiring diagram and parts assembly.
Do any of you know about a supplier or a person who sells or would like to donate a copy of a book with all info to our museum?

I have seen a copy of a thick book of the universal bren carrier MK2 (but not for sale :-( .

Regards
Israel

I believe your universal carrier is actually a Canadian manufactured MK-I*, converted to MK-II standard in the U.K. using the U.K. supplied conversion package. As such, there are minor differences in the wiring. For example, the MK-I* had different lighting systems, different starter, battery location and cable hook-up changed, no fuel tanks gauge or sending units with capacitors.

Please consider posting a picture of your dash panel. I suspect it is a MK-I* with push button engine starter, Canadian instrument switch MK-I*, upgraded electronic oil pressure sending unit, no fuel gauge.


See here for the Canadian and British wiring diagrams of the MK-II* and MK-II carriers :
