Default track

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.

Default Wheel Bearing Help Needed

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

Default Phoenix Rising - The Power Of Colin

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.
