New member saying hello

Hi all. My name is Jonathan Bradshaw. I have been reading this site for about six months now and I understand that you the members like newbies to introduce themselves. I am living in Kingston Ont. CAN. and have been interested in the military vehicles for a long time. I have space to use them and the desire to restore several vehicles. I have now purchased several carriers, 1 is a cut down MK2 Bren and two are cut down T16s. As they are cut down I need alot of parts and help. I will be asking questions from time to time. Here are a few pictures of my finds so far. :salute:
There are two wheels (1 each side on the bren) made of steel bands welded on in place of the rubber. This has caused what I think is alot of wear on the tracks. I also have some wheels in need of new rubber.

Hi Jon,

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have your work cut out on those carriers. Please ask any questions you wish, and keep us posted on your progress!

Let us know where you are located, I´m sure this will help in getting the parts and help you need closer to you.

Regards,
Hanno

Yes, A big welcome. Once you get into restoring these wee beasties you will have so much fun and meet the best people out there. As was said to me when I first got my UC, "Carrier owners are wierd just like thier machines, but great people".

Keep us updated on your progress
