Bending the channels took a little while as they need to be quite exacting.

They are a seriously heavy seat.

Luckily I only need to make one as the other I have is the original. I sacrificed one of my G clamps to use the trapezoidal thread as a copy of the original.

I have a couple of pics of the finished seat but for some reason they won't download.

The drivers seats are complete apart from the leatherwork and ready for installation, but not just yet.

Wow, great work so far! I am writing an article on early Canadian armour for Warspot.ru, and I'd love to mention your restoration efforts. Where did you get the tanks? Do you know their history up until that point? Any background information on them would be awesome.

Colin,
More likely a No. 101 (Aust) set, which went into quantity production by AWA in 1939/40. There is some info in Wireless for the Warrior Volume 1. The Vickers Mk6A Tanks ended up at the AFV School at Puckapunyal, and there is strong evidence that the WS 101 (Aust) was in use at the school at the same time. Mike Kelly should be able to provide more details about the set and its Australian production. It was based (?) on the British WS No.1. Magnificent job you are doing Mike
