Default fuel tank, selector valve and remote for MKII Carrier

Friends, i have embarked on the journey of adding a fuel tank and other accessories to an already very complete and excellent running( Thanks to Perry Kitson) MKII* Canadian Carrier .This thread will document it and allow me to ask questions to those more familiar . I prepared myself by reading other members posts on the subject , especially one by our friend Michael R . So here we go : I started with a fuel selector valve bought from LWD in Holland . It arrived super fast .

Default Fuel selector valve remote control handle

This is the handle inside the front operating the rod that moves the fuel tank selector valve in the engine compartment . I think it’s the wrong way wich would explain why i can’t turn it . Immediately to the right is the starting handle and to the left, the gunner’s seat frame .

Default selector valve remote control

This is what the handle attaches to. At the other end of the rod is an arm that connects to the selector valve handle . The whole unit is quite long as it travels from the driving compartment through the division plate all the way back to the rear armour plate . It runs along the floor plate , goes under the radiator, the floor of the engine compartment right to the rear plate . I sourced this rare , hard to find and original part from Super Dave in Edmonton. I was there for an exercise in early 2016 and met with Dave and Reg Hodgson . At the time Dave was working on his very nice MK I Carrier and he had leftover MKII specific parts. He also contributed a whole set of MKII engine compartment doors in fine condition . Thank-you Dave !

Default remote control rod

The rod runs through two angle brackets that are bolted to the floor in the engine compartment . We see here the first angled bracket to the left . It is a difficult job to run the rod through the very small hole on the bottom of the division plate . It took me almost 2 hours with rest periods in between. It is a hard to reach area under the radiator and engine and you have to play contortionist and twist yourself backwards.

Default Fork

At the end of the rod is the fork that operates the selector handle. Here we clearly see the second angled bracket that is bolted to the floor. I am very lucky that these were already installed . They would of been a pain to install.
