M8 restoration

Hi all,

Just a few new pictures of some more work on the hull.

The new sections of the turret ring gear have been water cut and are ready to be spliced into the ring. That water cutting is impressive. The replacement panels for those cut off the rear hull pieces have also been prepared.

I hadn't noticed it until now but I am missing a U bolt off the rear springs. Does anyone happen to have one of these spare?
