The clutch is ready.
Also note interesting oil openings on my block - it used to be running with cooler and filter within the power unit.

No Dave, its been copied exactly from the original (repro in front, original in rear). I guess that there should be two venting pipes on the canadian made tanks, but nothing like that on this one. Its british Mk.III, simplified design I would say. Also note the position of flanges - also different.
Of course, there is venting valve inside the filling cover, but thats all.

Ok, I did not know that there was that much difference between the British and Canadian designed tanks. Carry on
