On the outside of the area you picture. It is on the angle iron that is behind the rear armour plate. If you stand by the rear left sprocket and look down you should see it. It will be within the first 12" of the angle. (The angle iron is actually a T shaped piece, but the T is only in the center portion between the fenders.)

Default Canadian MK1 restoration

A comment from Canada .I am doing a MK1 3 numbers from Richies .The carrier cores in the rad are heavier than a truck rad .So if you can find an original one to repare there is not much you can do about it. The track pads are made to slide sideways on the track pins to alow for warp steering .The tracks don't actually bend when forced by the warp steering .Good luck with your toy

hi george i'm glad you mentioned the rad cores as i'm having one made for the carrier, i'll mention the cores to the guy that's fabricating it.

thanks again

hi fella's
been a while since i did an update on the progress so i thought i'd post a few pics. as you can see she's coming along quite nicely. most of the the steel fabricating is being done by a friend and will be ready for collection from his yard next week. the major components are ready to go on the only stumbling block now is the axle as i haven't checked it out yet but if that's ok then it should be on the road soon.
