making bushes and widgets for some repro shutters which i traded Martyn Tasker for a few years back have been coming along nicely, there is some modification required but on a whole they work a treat now.
 whilst i mention lathework, i have been making shims for the wheels to convert from 40mm ID to 50mm ID bearings.. i had one shim made on CNC (one piece job with shoulders on) however after speaking with a chap who makes wheels etc for British AFV's was advised to go the route you see in the image.... what a laborious job but nevertheless i got there in the end.  base coat has been flying around the workshop and its always nice to get stuff painted up then stored away ready to bolt on  tool plate being mok'd up along with Ben's repro rubber tread plates  i have been working on the linkages now and was pleased to see that i have the bulk of them in tact (and safe to use) i am missing the cam linkage rods, a brake pedal rod (and park brake rod) and i need both front to rear hull rods as the ones in there are beyond safe use (the ends are ok though)

The danger in opening luminous gauges is not the radiation exposure, it's the particle inhalation.

If anyone does have the plotting measurements for the rivet holes I mentioned, it would be of great help.

Lynn I will get some pics but the bits I mean if you imagine the centre bulkhead has two long right angle bars riveted to it the lower one runs along the engine bay side of the plate and the wooden cover which blanks off the rad bolts to it.... The upper bar runs along the front side of the plate behind the drivers and gunners head level with the top if the plate level with the top of the side armour.... Hard to explain matey will get pics ASAP
