New UCW project

[Michael R.]

Differences of housing packing, or instrument panel gasket, varied between country of manufacture, serial number, and model of carriers.


The Canadian production design change for 'Gasket - Instrument Panel' , part no. C01UC-105300, was introduced at serial number 1877. This black rubber material gasket appears on Canadian MK-I* series carriers, i.e. C01UC, C21UCM and C21UCG, (as shown by Dave G.). Retrofitting of the earlier Canadian production required the use of longer mounting bolts, C01UC-105311. Bulletin A-5, 25 Sept 1942, Item 16 refers.

The gasket material and part number(s) was changed for the Canadian MK-II* series, C31UCW, where it is made from two parts, the material is plywood.
Those part numbers are C31UCW-104856 and C31UCW-104857 as 'Spacer - instrument panel L.H. and R.H.' respectively.


Chilwell publishes the Langite gasket material for all British Universal Carrier production instrument panel gaskets as two parts, TL 13958 and TL 13964.

I notice too that the petrol filler cap is at the opposite end of the tank to the Canadian MK2.

And is without vent pipes.

[Petr Brezina]

Yes, simplified and better (more ergonomic) design on fuel tank.
Evolution went to the right direction in this case, I guess

[Petr Brezina]

Lynn, here are few photos from "radiator area" as promised

[Petr Brezina]

Few more.
Some pipes connected today, engine almost ready for firing.

[Petr Brezina]

Few bits added - mirror, front el. conduits, engine linkage. Also start work on the visors...

Yes, thats your list, I was sourcing from
There are many differencies between British and Canadian production and early/late models. Very interesting to finding them out.
