I have done my floor plate and have made some of the Vickers ammo and parts floor holders.

I would assume that these would also be in the NZ carriers as well.

My gear change was 90 deg out so it is by far better to cut the pipe, bevel and reweld. Apart from being a quick repair, drilling new holes at 90 deg only leaves about 30% of material left. This way you are still using exactly the same holes. The front it almost complete apart from the clutch and accelerator rods and the cover.

The front is just about complete. I just made a few steering rods and some other work in the engine area.

I had a good pattern of the other cam plate cover which also incorporates the battery base holder. These parts are made out of 3mm.
