I'm afraid you have no chance on any meaningfull numbers as they are all gone.

"they had the fan mounted on the crank for the low sloping hood but that is the only difference otherwise the engine is the same"
I believe it actually is the original engine. The mount for the the generator is still there on top where the fan should be and the fan was very roughly welded onto the crank(home job). The person I purchased it had removed the engine and transmission and modified it to run a backyard wood mill. Also the transmission was altered to fit the requirement. Chris Saunders

Yes I was going to say it looked like it was used to run a buzz saw. It very well could bethe engine . There should be a engine number on the top left rear of the engine block, Between the head and the intake. There is a flat spot there, the same surface as the intake. Probably starts with a "T".

Thanks Brad, I may pay you a visit in the near future if your up for it
 A few question about the upper armour. I am going to have to aquire or fabricate all of it. Does anyone know were I could find some of the original armour pieces? I am guessing its not likely that I will find any, but you never know so I thought I would put the question out there. On fabrication I thought I read somewhere in a thread that there are CAD drawings of the armour floating around. Does anyone know of their location? Any advice regarding the armour would be greatly appreciated. About the drive shaft, does anyone know of a buisness that produces this part? I'm sure there is not a huge market for it judging from its size. Thank you all for you help and advice. Chris Saunders

Any time Chris.
As a general note, I would be very very cautious using those CAD drawings that were put together by Rob Groves. I purchased a set of front shutters from Rob a few years ago and the measurements were way way off from the originals, so much so they required extensive modification to fit and even after all that work, they still looked like crap. If the shutters were that far off, I can only imagine the rest is the same. Driveshaft? No drive shafts in Universal carriers...

bren carrier drive shafts are rare indeed, the only time i have seen a drive shaft for one it was a new one in a box, right next to road wheel repare kits (for flats) and the rare tie rods for the steering.
BTW its a joke  dave

Thanks for the tip on the CAD drawings Brad.
Well don't I feel silly now  , I just sort of assumed there was one. I don't have the Dif assembly so its hard to picture how it goes together. Oh well, this will be a constant learning experience. I am working on getting those Canadian manuals, that should clarify alot for me. Cheers Chris
