Border Raiding

What I do need if anyone can help is any information as in pictures, drawings or anything that would help in the restoration of the vickers light tank to running condition.

I think your right rick it was really the barrel and recooperater I was after.

Ron, the vickers would be a great project. It has the engine, trans, radiator, linkage and another hull with lots of stuff in it. A very unique little tank. But I will have to try ang get a bit more track because some of it is dead.

Colin its a pity this did not happen a little while back that Marmon Herrington carrier conversion had British track on it but thats gone now, I will keep an eye out up here for you and see what turns up, maybe some one closer to home might have some they can spare after all its in a good course

Colin, essentially it runs the same track as all the other Aussie carriers.(not narrow english track)

[ron]

Hi Lynn,
Well you are never to old to learn, thanks for that information,that will make it easier to source track,
Regards, Ron

Hi Lynn, I will check it in the daylight but the track that is there does look like the horns are closer and the lead plug area is different also. There is a t16 there as well. I think a busy beaver will be an understatement with this lot.

Colin,

I thought there was a Light Tank on that load, you might have seen a thread about these on the forum in last few days. I did some work on the restoration of one of the ten that went to Australia, cheifly electrical and instruments, but have quite a few photos, and other info. Does it have the engine still in it?

Just notice that there are two Vickers MkVI tanks, good going!
