Thanks Ron, Michael and Richard. I found the holes in the division plate for the special brackets . Michael provided nice details on the mounting of the MKII specific can . It is very similar to the standard Ford CMP overflow can but with different attachment points and bracket. Mine is a standard Ford can so i will have to work on it to make it fit but with the info provided again by Michael it will be relatively easy. Richie , maybe Ron could provide you with access to his «* can*» ? Can he ? Cheers. Bob. UPDATE : Epay just notified me that the MKII Carrier fuel tank i bought from a nice gentleman Carrier restorer in Arizona was delivered to my brother in law in New England USA. I guess i am going on a roadtrip to Maine soon ... well as soon as i am on leave ! Can’t wait to see my tank - her , i mean my brother in law !

Hi , got my bracket back from the welder/ fabricator . Primed and painted . Found proper lenght temporary bolts. Found proper temporary brass fittings . Located the holes in the back plate . Drilled the holes in the newly made bracket . Installed same with valve . Connected selector arm with temporary wire to valve handle . Tested the selector handle in the driver compartment and the valve handle moves up and down ( last 2 pictures ) ! Victory . This one is for you Stephan Leegwater ! Q : What kinda bolt , sleeve or whatever should i use to connect the arm coming from the bottom of the Carrier to the valve handle. I have a picture from the parts manuel but it’s so small that i can’t make it out . ANSWER FOUND : A Clevis pin and cotter pin . Thanks Michael R

The valve bracket install went so well i had time left before roll call . I decided to install a few Xmas tree lights ( radio equipment ) to spruce up the Carrier . First i installed the «* B*» set antennae base .
Like you suggested David , i raise the guard over the top of the rubber isolator. Voilà ! Then i installed the «* A*» set antenna base No 8 on the No 3 wooden mounting . Bolted everything to the dedicated bracket over the radiator just behind the front divisional plate. I then installed the «* rabbit ears*» adapter and two aerials. Now i have a «*V*» for victory «* A*» set pair of aerials on the Carrier . Sometime in the near future i will be installing a working No 19 set . This one is for you Jon S. Good night . The Canadiens will win tonight.. PS : they did and 5-1 .

Be aware there were minor updates made to the C31UCW series carriers with respect to the remote fuel selector. Those updates are not included in Illustration #38 of page 200 in the parts manual FUC-03. A spring and supporting clip were made specially for this carrier, and assigned C31UCW part numbers. The parts name and numbers appear on page 214.
The clevis pin and associated cotter pin that connects the lever to the remote control valve arm had a spring and clip added. The tip of the spring replaced the cotter pin. |
