Some other stuff.
4x UK type carrier wheels $200
2x Aus type carrier wheels $50
75mm gun mantlet off grant tank $1500
2x NOS Cent tank wheels $40
Matilda or possibly Stuart tank turret ring $160
Slim pickin's in my cookie jar at moment too, so didn't go. Couldn't join Matt either
Sounds like a bit of competition for the Grant side mantlet.
Matilda and Grant and Stag might have similar size turret rings but Stuarts have a gear in the turret and rollers on the top deck...does anyone know which tank it was for? If Grant it'd comprise about 3 rings plus the ring gear plus bearings and brass bearing spreaders all bolted together to form a unit.
Stag is similar to Grant except has a sloping lower-outer face and the gear is cut from that same ring instead of being a seperate boltable item. Also the Stag top deck has a weld most of the way around the ring so if the ring was cut out you'd see the shiny weld bead around the edge.
