Default Hull Number

Hi all - I've already alerted one of my field agents to inspect the Carrier with particular attention to whether it can be identified.

Default Carrier Bones

Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me where in Victoria St Arnaurd is? It might be bare bones but there are quite a few good bits there,I can see seat brackets seat bases and the seat ajustment quadrents air scoop not to mention the bogies and the front ajustment bogie, I have driven more than 2 thousand Ks to get less than whats left on this old girl, Bottom line is they aint making them any more, Hell what if the fuel tanks are there??
Regards, Ron

Here's an interesting Australian manual on ebay that includes the 2 pdr attack carrier. This seems like as good a thread as any to post it on.

Default Ford 1846,

Hi Justin,
Good luck with the Auction, there are some good bits there for you, the air scoop will be needed for your restoration , Also you have the pedal set up even if its only for templates and I see quite a few of the various brake and steering rods,seats and the control rod cover ,its a good buy if you get it for that price,
Best Regards
Ron

Default other bits

Bob,
When this ad appeared on ebay I asked the seller about other carrier items they may still have. They replied there were many bits and pieces laying nearby and across the farm.
Did your spy get photos of anything of interest?

And did Plushy make it up there?

Ryan

Default St Arnaud

This would be ideal for a female restorer as the seller has decribed it as being a 'WREN GUN CARRIER'
