Wanted: Carrier Stacey Towing mount

[kevin powles]

Jim, I had one cast, direct from an original, any good caster can do it in cast steel, the only issue you have is that it's a solid lump, I drilled the cast holes to make it appear hollow. To make a pattern to cast it hollow was just to expensive.

Kev.

British carriers had welded "horns", not casted ones. Much more easier to make a replica. I know its not proper for canadian carriers, just an option.

Casting can be done but it would need a sacrificial wax plug made.. Bens fortay is cast work so will defer to his superior knowledge. It is otherwise an easy enough job though.

Only problem with solid arms is that the carrier will be arse down before you even hitch anything up.

Kev might be worth casting as a lump, section the arm and mill out the unwanted material, then re weld the two sections back together.

Time consuming and no doubt expensive, but you would get what you wanted at the end..

I will need a Stacy setup for my current project at some stage

Petr usually Mk2* carriers had casted horns with them , most MK1* carriers had welded retrofitted ones , maybe it has something to do that they where already in the UK , my mk1* had the welded ones on as well.

[Petr Brezina]

Yes, that sounds logical, Maurice!

I know that LWD had some parts, but looks like he is out of stock now. We also have the C15TA to use as a pattern. But I agree, I would like to see the Stacey hook on the MKI*
