I've been quite busy making one of the drivers hatches and certainly very strong hinges

I needed some T section so I cut it out of some I beam I had and bevelled the required edges. This hatch is fully riveted with a lot of them. It was handy to use my hole punch and press them cold.

I used a 8.8 bolt for the rivet support which worked very well and a flat bottomed punch die to press a flat top.

It's finished and is a very good fit. Glad I only had to make one.

Hi Colin. The hinges look to be the same as those on a riveted U.C. folding flap
on the upper left side front armour. The have 2 inch hole centers. Looking great as normal. Enjoying your thread. Keep it coming.

Hi Lynn, yes you are right and after looking at some carrier photos I see the speedo on the MK1 carrier is the same as the Vickers so my next question is!
Has anyone got a 1 or 2 MK1 speedos in any condition that they would part with.
