Blatant hijack
The trailer shown is the Taskers folding trailer, an earlier thread shows an un-restored one somewhere.
Taskers do not seem to have any details, I contacted them and got nothing. The trailer behind the AEC is the Cranes 5 ton, which I would like to get more details. I have this one photo that was supplied by Les Freathy (thanks), but would love to get some idea of dimensions and tyre sizes. George.

The vision blocks are 1" thick and a full days machining to do both.

There is also quite a bit of mechanism behind as well.

You are doing God's work, and I understand the determination to build something that isn't just another Carrier (with full apologies and sympathies to the hardworking Carrier restorers and students).

God damn, every time I roll in on your build(s) I am in shock and awe at the series of miracles you are pulling off. I am so very glad to see your posts detailing the work and updates of your fantastic work and investment of time and effort at doing it right.

Just to make sure you aware Terry, that some carriers are more rare than these Mk.VI B, Vickers tanks.
Great work Colin.

I would think with a large skilled workforce like Vickers would have had eg many toolmakers , fitters and so on, it would have been a fairly quick project. Britain was arguably the leading land of engineering back then . The machine tools they had in the 1930's were pretty damn good . The Germans had invented carbide cutters and others were going ahead with experimenting with carbide cutters . I have an old catalogue of Churchill grinders somewhere, the size and different types of grinders they made is staggering. Britain had so many machine tool makers it's beyond comprehension. This is a good insight into it www.lathes.co.uk but even that web site doesn't tell the whole story.
