what an excelent base for a project ! i am green with envy ! is that a hole cut in the lower hull next to the rear bogey,or is it a trick of the light ? you are lucky the centre bulkhead and ducts appear unmolested. and you have some swanky looking sand guards too.....
looks like you will be riveting shortly then  do you have any details on the numbers lower tub / armour etc etc ?

Ben and I have done a lot of work on drawings.
I am looking for a Good steering wheel, and he is looking for a good spare barrel box. Your thoughts.

I need a set of plates as well. How about a bulk order for several sets. I can pick up in maple ridge or hope.

i provided drawings to Doug Lavoie and some of the lads over there.. there are CAD schematics for the side and rear armour plates and centre bulkhead out in the domain too, i know this as i had a hand in creating some of them. i would not care i have just binned all the plywood patterns i had for the front armour....typical ! i would be warey on some plans out there as they are utter utter tripe.. i have seen some where the dimensions are way out ! i have not seen Lynn and Bens work on this front yet but i have no doubt it will be top drawer and deffinately worth a swap for a steering wheel and two bren spare barrel boxes ! at least you know they will be correct and it really does make a difference rather than scratting about for six months like myself and Rick De Bruyen did

Headlight
i picked up a Hedlight yesterday From My Brother. I had origional bought the light for $20 bucks in a surplus store 22 years ago . The head light was sold along with a 1942 CMP to my Brother .
The cmp is long ago sold but the light was sitting in a shed and had missed being thrown out as scrap 2 months ago . My brother was nice enough to save it for me but i had to come pick it up. In Prince George B.C. only a 530 Mile drive from my house. I drove up Tuesday after work and came back wed I also found a leed on two ww2 Jeeps . anyways The Carrier I picked up from the Seaforth Highlanders is in Need of 1 Head light and now I have it. I will have to modify it to fit the Carre Mounting Brackes but thats how it goes. Jeff

Before you modify anything, post in the for sale section. It seems like guys with mk2 carriers only find mk1 headlamp bodies, and mk1 carrier owners only find mk2. Maybe someone will be willing to trade.
