Default Radiator

Removed the radiator today, it appears at some point a modified mk2 carrier radiator had been fitted, this suggests the carrier was used after 1942. The top mount bracket from the original radiator has been soldered to the mk2 radiator and the side stays removed to get it to fit. Will send it off for refurbishment this week.

Also to note the carburettor choke knob is located above the decision plate.

Kevin, I believe all the pre Universal carriers had the choke control knob mounted at the division plate.

Hi Lynn, Yes you can see it in this picture. They must of used a commercially available type from that time. I think the one I have can be restored, the focus is on retaining all the original parts.
