Default Problems

Hi all
The problem now is that Keefy says it is a C60L whilst Mike Cecil says it's a C60S. There is a 24" difference in the wheel bases The C60S may be possible as I counted the number of track links on a high resolution image and came up with 157, that being 19 links short of a full Carrier track. 19 links equate to 35".

The second problem is, again according to Mike Cecil,

"while the Chevrolet used a combination of Machine Gun Carrier steel tracks and a suspension unit similar to the Marmon Herrington 2-man "Hercules" light tank."

Again through enhancing a high resolution image one can see the mounting methods/brackets utilised to hold the Carrier running gear. This does not look like any type of suspension unit but just bracket substitutes for the Carrier track assembly mounting points.

Over to you all - Bob
