Not seen that before Kev. I'll sit with a whiskey and watch the whole thing later. Cheers Ron

Kev there are pictures and plates of the various barrels but I haven't studied the manual lately to see if there are measurements. But I've found in the past that there is usually enough information for scaling purposes to see if most of the measurements are the same as my barrel. Ron

Has anyone got a spare one of these cam gears for the 2pdr mechanism?

Gents, Also does anyone happen to know if the 6pdr striker mechanism is the same size as the 2 pdr, so are interchangeable?

I don't think so Kev. My engineer mate who helped me no end with my 2 pounder project also made replicas of the 6 pounder striker for Nigel Montgomery's 6 pounder Churchill tanks and they are much bigger than my 2 pounder striker. Ron

Ron, do you have a photo of yours in position, I think a 6 pounder striker will fit in the 2 pdr block and engage, but it's shaft is longer so could be modified to resemble a 2 pdr one. I have a couple of 6 pdr deactivated strikers here.
