The third image attributed to the British universal carrier is the same (update: not the same, 'similar' only) clutch and brake pedal as found on the early production MK-I* universal carrier. Locally some refer to it as the 'cheese grater' style.

Excellent thread Lynn, you forgot the LPP4 (Local pedal power) I don't think these ever went into production as they would have been quite slow and the drivers cuffs kept getting hooked in the chain. However I'm pretty sure this is where the terminology "on yer bike" came from.

Colin, you told me you muck around. Now I believe you.
Michael R, here I have an early set of british universal carrier pedals. The clutch pedal has a pattern not seen very often now and is marked TL2733 and dated 1940. When you say early MkI* cheese grater, Do you mean Canadian, built for British contract? (where Britian supplied various special parts ie electrics etc) and maybe pedal assemblies?

The early MK-I* has a similar pattern, different part number.
Drawing design in FUC-03, and a Canadian contract example on an early MK-I* less than serial number 2083. |

I got on my very late british carrier combination of pics 2 and 3. Clutch pedal is as on pic 2, brake as on pic 3.
Hope you will find it interesting.

I know it's not relevant to the discussion of wartime production pedal variants, but a good number of post war civilian carriers I've seen here in Canada had 4 by 4 wood blocks attached to the clutch so short guys could drive them.
