Wow, nice piece of work, but you sure went for the more difficult option in radius turning on that shaft. A well-known way (as described in Model Engineer and other places) for producing ball handles is to ....take a large ball bearing. Red heat to soften, drill through. Silver solder to shaft. Done!

Hi Steve, yes that is another way, but the hardest part of that, is finding a ball bearing with a diameter of 44mm. Even if you found one bigger it would be so hard to reduce the dia, but thanks for your comments.

Nearly finished the gear change mech. I would have to say, if you never had access to an original mech, it would be really difficult to make a replica from pictures.

mortar carrier gear change
For those of you who know what the original gear change mech looks like which is the previous pics I put on, this is the modified mech I have made up to accomodate the C4 transmission. A very simple system of rods and pins. It does change very easy and positive.
Just fuel, electrical and cosmetics left. Colin.
