Question LP2 Carrier parts required

As Corowra nears & the carrier is on it's tracks for the first time in god knows how many years I hope some of you can help in sourcing a few bits & pieces. She's an LP2 and am short the following-
Largest rear stowage box
2nd stowage box from the LH side on the rear
2 tail lamps
2 rocker switches for the instrument panel
Cranking handle & extention
Bracket for the carb that holds the hand throttle & choke cables
Signal box
Drivers tool box


No doubt more will come to mind as work progresses but if anyone has any of these parts I would be interested to hear. If anyone can lend me samples to copy would also be appreciated.

i will be at Corowra this year, if anyone coming has these parts & is coming drop us a PM. Also am happy to transport anything to Corowra for any members needing "stuff" taken down, wll have space in the trailer both there & back.

Will post some piccs of the carrier on it's tracks when I get the little slot put back in the back in the computer for the camera cable, came back from repairs with the port missing... hmmmmmm...

Default Carrier Parts

Rob
Just for yours and everybodies edification, the Carrier boxes are as follows.
Starting from the nearside and quoting part numbers
581-1 - 6 1/4" width box
581-2 - 12 1/8" width box
581-3 - 16 1/8" width box
581-4 - 14 5/8" width box
581-5 - 9 3/4" width box

I will be bringing seven 581-2 boxes and two 581-5 boxes to Corowa, if not sold beforehand. Although these are rust pitted and some have parts of the bases rusted away they are still good boxes. I've had them sand blasted and two pack primed with the guy putting a bit of green colour in the primer. I'm also trying to get in touch with a guy who had a Signal Box and if I get hold of him I'll network you two.
I'll PM you a contact for the rocker switches.
Bob
