As a side note one summer when my regiment The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment were at Petawaw for summer concentration we were paired up with the Linclon and Welland Regiment for the exercise. They re-named us the 2nd Battalion of the Tecumseh Fuseliers. Just think the Hasty Perverts mixed with the Links and Dinks.... LOL

keep the advice coming guys, i've set myself a target of 50 days to get it on the road or at least moving under it's own power, does anyone know of a flathead v8 specialist in england, i'm looking to drop it off with someone who can get it running like clockwork as a reliable motor is no.1 on my list of priorities.

Martyn Tasker is building three for myself and Nigel Watson, his own carrier runs spot on so he is worth a call... plus Lincoln is not far from you. he rebuilds them and they get returned in a frame and can be "Bench run" so litterally a running power pack to drop straight back into your carrier.

hi fella's
just a quick update on the carrier, i've dropped off the flathead v8 with martyn tasker last week and when i told him i wanted the carrier on the road by end of august he laughed (i get that a lot) martyn's also supplying the steering bevel box and a road wheel (thanks martyn). the gearbox is sorted, awaiting collection, the cut armour is going back on this weekend and the hull is getting blasted and primed tomorrow and the track is freed off and ready to go back on but i do need a rad and an oil cooler. a pal of mine's a mechanic and said a local firm can fabricate the rad so does anyone have the dimensions and does anybody else need one making while i'm there. when i get it back home from the yard it's in now the real work for me will begin,there's the axle and brake linkages to sort out and the track warping assembly looks pretty well rusted up but once all that's sorted and together it should be able to move under it's own power. happy days  all the best eddy

forgot to mention i'm still trying to trace the wd number or at least narrow down the search to find it's history. i found this number on the angle iron directly behind the gunners seat on the bulkhead, does anyone know of it's significance.
cheers eddy

not sure about that position but i am going to check mine now, as mine is a canadian Mk1 also. do you have any numbers in front of the driver on the front armour ?
this would be a good question for Nigel to answer.
