Does anyone know if the brass part is the same as an LP Carrier?

I know the button itself is different, the English one having a radiused edge, the LP being virtually flat across the edge.

[Lynn Eades]

Yes, I do, and no they aren't.

[Lynn Eades]

The knobs are square edged
The bronze part is longer between the screw hole centers.
The screw countersink is a different angle.
The spindle is a bigger dia.at the index (business)end

...and the arm is different, and so is the window frame.

Things you can interchange;
Bogie axles and bearings
return roller axles and bearings.
steering box worm and sector shaft
Fibre cups.
Suspension rods (with nuts)

Not much else.

Roy , you have done a nice job. Well done!

[The Bedford Boys]

Ahhh, Red, if anyone was to know it would be you.

And yes the suspension rods are interchangeable, but the threads on the ends are different. So to be 100% authentic, you shouldn't be using English rods in an LP Carrier and vice versa. *shakes finger sarcasticly whilst staring at pile of NOS English suspension rods cleaned up to go into LP suspension*

[Lynn Eades]

As they were available in your area, why wouldn't you?
....and when your carrier is up and going, will you care?

I see your covers went quickly.

[Ralph Volkert]

They look great! I am assuming British are same as Canadian!?
Either way I am interested! How much are they?

[Doug Lavoie]

I am interested as well. Very nice work done on each piece. What would the cost be?

Sorry I will have to pass for now. If you have dimensions That would be great I have a mini lathe and mini milling machine and this is the size of stuff I can do myself if I have a pattern or drawing.

[kevin powles]

Hi, Thats a good price for 60 pieces considering they are complete and the amount of work put into each one, how much interest have you had?.

regards kevin.

[roy206]

hi kevin

i think the price is to expensive
before i put the price in here there was a lot of interest,now it is over.
and indeed with all the work on them is 60 euro a fair price.

The New Zealand knob looks bigger than the English knob. Were our knobs bigger than theirs Lynn?

[roy206]
