T-16 "Luba"

[SDT16]

Wow...It has been a while folks but progress has been made. Too many other projects got in the way.

Update: The old crappy sponson repair done by random Stick Welder Magillicuty has been removed. And yes that sucked because it basically equates to 100 foot of welds to grind down!! The original pieces are actually channels that are welded on the inside of the tub where they bend down and underneath where the lip runs even with the bottom of the armor sides etc. We are using a special wire which is a bit pricey so it they are just tacked in at the moment.

Enjoy.

Also, I will be making up new hull plugs complete with threaded rings to weld to the hull. I'll try to get some pictures to better explain what I mean. If anyone is interested please let me know.

I am also looking for the oil bypass control for the T-16. It is located on the left rear of the engine. See picture below. Any leads would be appreciated..
