Centaur Turret.
Hi, Is that not the same gun turret taken from another angle?. Rick, I think that Cavalier has different running gear to a Centaur, hubs, swing arms etc so would yield very little useful parts, I think it needs to go to Bovington for restoration with the turret staying with it as I understand they have another Cavalier there. At the moment I think it's the 'missing link' in there British Cruiser tank restored collection.
Kevin.

Hi, The Centaur strip continues, nearly every side armour bolt needed a nut welded to it to allow it to be removed. The shrapnel damaged division plate has been removed for a pattern for a new lazer cut one.
Hope to have all the springs and shocks off by the end of next week, some repair work then to take place on the hull before blasting and priming. kevin.

i'm impressed mate you really are going at it hell for leather.
i have a boxed nos meteor engine from a guy in denmark that i was going to buy if i couldn't get a liberty for the centaur, obviously i have no need for it now so it's yours if you want it. the guy was asking £2600 which is a good price, let me know soonest so i can let him know either way. cheers keep up the good work rick

hello guys,
I'm happy to see that another British WW2 tank gets some TLC, and hopefully we will see it moving around in some years.. Pierre-Olivier http://the.shadock.free.fr/

Hi, Here is a couple of pics taken this week following grit blasting the hull and painting, hope to get it to mine this week, lots still to do to the hull, all the swing arms have got to come off aswell as the final drive backing plates.
If anyone who I have not already spoken to has any Cromwell or Centaur parts that could help towards this project please p.m. me. kevin.

Tremendous progress Kevin, do you have much range damage to attend to? My Loyd has been nothing but heart ache, with even the most complete part being subtly distorted and requiring remedial work. There was a complete liberty V12 available from Dave Arnold, but it may have been sold when he shifted the Cavalier.
