Thanks Justin. I have clearly joined the right forum, I was reading Horsa's thread on his T16 and i only hope i can do the same level of resto to this one what a fantastic job he has done !!!!.
My carrier service book has arrived today so I have been reading up big time. famous last words but the mechanics of the carrier seem pretty straight forward for what i am used to dealling with, and in comparison to modern items such as the FV432.
I think the nightmare will be locating drive train, sprockets, linkages, steering mechs and tracks etc. That said I live 5 minutes from Vickers Amrstrongs who designed the first proto type of the carrier (VAD 50) when they took over carden lloyd... wonder if they still have any patterns etc etc. may have to drop them an email !
