Armour question
 

Hi Guys (and girls) My question is:
Do all Canadian Carriers (MkI* U.C. etc) all have a casting that supports the steering box armour? I have just seen the front armour from T53666 and the frame work that the steering box mounts to is a one piece casting. other examples are fabricated from angle iron. Is this a British versus Canadian thing? This carrier also has an extra layer of steel covering the angles along the bottom and around underneath on either side of the steering box armour. Is this also the norm?

Hi Lynn,

Are there any pictures of T53666 to see the area of interest?

Hi Tom, here it is. Is yours the same, (left) cast, with the doubler plates? The whole frame for the steering box armour is one cast piece. The right one is fabricated
