Knox and I have already talked about his restoration project. All of my Swiss mods were either given away or were beyond salvage from heavy rust, people having shot them up or my cutting torch in the case of the armoured turn signals.
Doubt that SECo has anything left either. I'd spoken with them on the phone a couple of years ago when they still had a few damaged wheels laying around. In addition to all of the vehicles they had imported, they got all of the NOS spare parts. With nobody interested in the items at the time, which was before civilians really had access to the Internet, most was sold for scrap metal. This included at least one 40' container full of track. Really sad but I guess their business is to flip items quickly and not store them for the long haul.
Anyway, back on Knox's project. He also needs the Swiss roof bow holding sockets that bolt onto the T-16 wading squares.
