Hi Gordon - thanks for your thoughts. I think we will go with the 43 tooth sprocket. As far as the body goes I will stick with the concrete ballast body as that is how the vehicle was conceived and tested. I want to replicate as close to the original as I can.

If you were building it today stick with standard sprockets and leave the front axle out of gear for now.

I still think you might consider a special body too, maybe in addition to the concrete ? I expect there would be plans out there somewhere for what they intended as the final result.
Time enough for that when you get the rest of it up and running.

the Vickers Light tank(Mk 6 I think) was fitted with the wide track. Or if you like, the Aussies opted to use the Vickers light tank track on its locally produced carriers. I am speaking of dimensions here, not about metalurgy,or pin location etc.

Hi all - just rebuilding the front axles and noticed that the nearside inner wheel bearing is missing. This is weird as you need to dissemble the whole hub system to get it out. Looks like someone forgot to replace it. I need to order another one but I do not have the part number for it. Help needed ASAP

BTW - if you don't remember this is a C60S.

Hi all - finally got the truck to Colins a couple of weeks ago with the intention of doing some working bees with him. Received a phone image today and lo and behold look what this guy has done. I was gobsmacked to say the least. He then sent me some images of the stages. More to follow.

So this Saturday the plan is to re-construct the wheels and next week get the 43 tooth sprockets made. This is truly amazing as is MY MATE COLIN!!
