I also put the side bearing housing and cross shaft for a test fit and that too is good and the bevel gears appear to mesh correctly.

Well that's it!! i've welded the bottom on so I hope I don't need to do anything else in there or I'll be cutting a hole
 . Centre lines all lines up, the gears all mesh well and I can turn the main shaft and get the gears to respond so that's a plus. One of the bearing housings in the centre must have got a little bit too hot so I will have to do a bit of mods with my die grinder but no biggy. The outside wing parts are next then the holes and tapping.

Again WOW, I think that only you could have done such a feat as to manufacture a complicated transmission housing

A hundred years from now this will change hands of the rarest of all Vickers Mk6B's, the only one with the steel gearbox upgrade. There will be all sorts of speculation over whether it was a factory prototype or done as a training exercise for the motor pool etc. Nobody will guess clever Aussie in a well equipped shed.

....Unless Colin does what Museums routinely do and stamps into it the date made and by who, thus clearly indicating it as a part manufactured during restoration.
It is a common 'problem' with restorations particularly where records can be lost or mislaid: just what is an original part and what is substituted from another source. Without clear indicators such as the stamping mentioned, it can lead to all sorts of speculation and assumptions. Mike

Thankyou Dave, but I think you are underestimating so many guys here with some of the resto's that have been done.
Mike, that's a good Idea. There is a plate on the trans cover that is all but gone so I will replace it with one of my own. Perhaps I might put "Panzervicker" and give them all something to think about in a century or so. I started the side parts today and even thought the two parts I made don't look very big or complicated they took me all day and it took quite a while to get them set up for the correct radius but I got is at the end.

These two pieces are 1" thick steel and they are now drilled and tapped with 3/8 BSF threads.
