Alistair, going back to post#65, I see you have the later type seal arrangement.
What did you do about the (outer) felt seal? Did you have circles cut or have you done them with strips?
What are you planning for the generator?

Lynn,
I had new ones cut by a friend who worked at an industrial seal company, I just sent an original, both for the main road wheels and the return rollers. They are complete circles.
I have a couple of dynamos, but I will leave that right until the end as I’d like to save up and fit one of those Alternators made to look like a dynamo.

A little Loyd update on YouTube. Perhaps 2021 will be the year it gets mobile!

As always, first class work !!

Have really loved watching this machine coming back to life, looking forward to seeing it on one of the tours, Normandy, Holland...

You really get to enjoy the fruits of your labour living off the vehicle for a week.

Great work buddy.

I’ve just started a Loyd Carrier instagram page at the behest of my eldest. Loyd should be driving soon.

Finally its virtually complete. First test after setting up the brakes. I need to be a little more assertive with the throttle!
