fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

Your mirror arms are incorrect which is where the confusion starts. It looks like you have chevy or else post war M-series arms. They should just be roundstock welded to a flat piece bolted to the hull.

Thanks Ron , very nice MKII Carrier ! Is it Canadian ? Thanks Rob. Will secure roundstock and remedy situation . Cheers !

Yes Robert 44 Mk11*. Same as yours. Done as 'Welsh Guard Stowage' Ron

Very nice Carrier Ron , very nice . Did they all come with the Ford horn ? How is the horn hooked up ? Bracket ? Where is the switch for the driver to operate it ? I have had this Carrier for 4 years now and i still have plenty of questions !

Got this in the mail this morning. It is British, not Canadian. The part number attests to this but what a beauty ! It smells good also. Polished leather ! I admit that the Canadian version his cardboard , fragile and hard to find in good condition. Someone went overboard when this version was designed and ordered . It is so well done that it could be passed for a lady’s handbag . But in wartime ? A disposable item ? Comments welcome.

Over the years I've managed to collect a full contingent of Bren gun mag pouches for my carrier. I'd say these are more like Hog Skin than cow hide? But all war-time dated. Ron

Thank you Ron . Here we have three different versions . One is pigskin, the other cowhide ( Both British ) and lastly .. drums & trumpets : Real Canadian cardboard ! The question remains , why such expensive material as in the first two examples ? Why not canvas like the utility pouches of the Pat 37 webbing or , like the Canadians did with impregnated rainproofed cardboard ? Guys , any other versions of this Mk II specific piece of kit ?
