M41 Walker Bulldog restoration Australia
Hi all, we are currently doing a complete nut and bolt restoration on a Kiwi M41. Although we have 80% NOS parts, I’m keen to hear from anyone that may also have parts or an interest in these vehicles. Once completed it will be the only one running in Australia, there is only 2 in Oz! Please check out our restoration page

Thanks Paul that’s awesome!

From your photos on the other thread am I right in assuming your M41 is ex NZ 30545? If so I can update my 'Disposal of NZ M41' list :)

Yes Paul that’s correct

loaders periscope
Mic is looking for a replacement loaders periscope. Can someone comment on the interchangeability between the Walker and M4 Sherman series periscopes?

Hi Michael, I have a few Periscopes lying around. Can you comment on whether it is a normal mirror or a telescopic periscope?
