Default More Carrier Gauge questions

Ok, can onyone tell me what other vehicles the gauges used in the carriers would have been fitted to, before, during, or even after the war ?

were they specific to ford, or were they fitted to the likes of Dodge, Chevy etc etc.


cheers in advance

Richie

Cheers Lynn i should really put the canadian stuff back in. although the carrier will be numbered as per my grandfathers Wollesley built carrier (unless i trace the tubs real numbers) i would like to maintain as much Mk1 canadian engineering as i can to avoid it becoming a "bitzer"

i have seen a number of Mk1s fitted with Mk2 speedometers is it possible that these were perhaps changed during the war, or more the case that Mk1 guages are non existent now.
