Heres is a few images of some of the carrier soft parts to show what they are like for those among us who would like to know.
This is the cross tube boot from an Australian LP2 carrier. I think the Brit/ Canadian one is very similar.
Last pic show a couple of cups that the suspension balls run in.

Here we have the leather boot that goes from the back of the gearbox to the diff adapter.
The black rubber seal fits on the shaft that the bogie fork pivots on.
The small leather boot fits to the brake bisector on the brake back plate.

Here is a fibre seal from under the fuel tank pick up.
The next two are the boot assembly that seals the rear hull to the brake rod. I have shown it collapsed to show how it was made. It has a spring in it that I suspect would be similar to one found in a petrol pump.
The last one is the felt dust seal from the steering column at the floor.

And there I was thinking the crew were the only soft parts on the carrier !

Thanks for the pics Lynn - especially the cross tube seal. Is anyone making them again out there ?

Cheers

Rick, just trying to spread the info. Phillip, there was someone Stateside, or Canada, but haven't seen anything for a while.
Heres a bit more.
The cork seal is the seal from the bogie wheels. They came in the form of a steel bodied leather lipped seal.
This felt seal is from the bellcrank outside of the rear hull plate. two in each assy.
Thie leather one is from a fuel cap.
