A Liverpool head is a slightly domed countersunk.

Default It's green !!!

The Scout has been blasted and painted over the last couple of days. Very pleased with the results. The new armour has got the slight texture the rest of the vehicle has from age but not the unevenness that you can only get from the real deal rolled armour.
Overall I'm very pleased and i think it looks the part. Just needs a little time to bed in and let the paint go off 100%
I made four castor wheels to make life easier moving it around. I can push the hull around by myself like a shopping trolly in the workshop, they're just the job. It took two of us to load and unload onto the trailer, one to winch the other to steer.
Now the real work starts............

pics.
In the booth, still wet. just after unloading and back inside the workshop ready to have bits bolted on.

Nice and clean it takes seconds for the paint to get scuffed and fouled up you may want to put some sections of card over the heavy traffic area's.


She looks a million bucks though and I am green with envy... Get her painted caunter quick !!!

Does anyone know the bearing number for the bearing that's at the bottom of the steering column?

Thanks

Hi Ben,
If you have the TL number or any other army number from the parts list, let me know as I have a British wartime cross reference list to give sizes and bearing makers part numbers.

i think It's the same bearing that goes in the cam rollers mate, and cam plate spigot (from memory) either that or it's the same as the return rollers.


Sorry that does not help you at all really

I've just been searching the past posts and Doug mentions SKF RM8, is an RMS8 the same thing?
