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

there are many carriers up there with armor, you can have the armor made from plywood, get it fitted properly then take it to one of the people that makes "yard art" and have them copy the plywood and have it plasma cut with the proper thickness steel.

I like that idea, thanks Dave. You are right too, between museums and Brad there are lots of good carriers to measure from.
Cheers Chris

Engine original?
Might be - but the ex manifolds are not.
I'm in Southern Ont, but if you're ever up this way , give me a call - who knows what's in my backyard that may be of help.

Yeah part of my problem with determining the authenticity of the engine is that it was refit in 1953, so I'm not sure how extensive the refit was. There is a plate attached to the engine in reference to the refit. It Reads:
"Mackenzie, White & Dunsmuir ltd. Precision Machine Shop, Date 25, 2, 53, CYL 030, RODS 020, MAINS 010" I will hunt for a number tonight in the location that was explained to me and see if I can't verify it either way. Cheers Chris

if you can get a good set of exhaust manafolds from charlie than do it.... do it NOW. the exhaust manafolds could be a show stopper if not.
and he sounds like a good guy.  dave
