Getting Restoration Bren carrier MK2

[Israel Berko]

Can anyone tell what dimensions of the part of the image? especially what the size of the window marked in X
I have the part but we'll eat "Corrosion" in the long window
Thanks
Israel

Israel how desperate are you for the dimensions ? If you can give me a week I will dismantle one from my pile of parts and draw around it for you and post it to you ? From memory mine does not have any corrosion on.... the offer is there if knowone comes forth before hand.

If I remember correctly the slotted end takes a 5/16" clevis pin, and the fixed end is a 3/8" dia. clevis pin.

How will the BC behave with such wheel dimensions?
thanks

I doubt the carrier will even notice the different size wheels. I am working on a carrier that belongs to a local infantry battalion. When it was put together back around 1977, they used several front idler wheels in place of the normal roadwheels. Only problem was they did not change the inner bearings over to the roadwheel size. This ended up causing some wear on the inner support arm, but even so, the carrier functioned just fine.

Israel, I would personally use 20´ wheel at the rear boogie assy.

Hello
I have a great request. In my carrier I do not have a part CTL 4050. I read that you made the part for your carrier. Could you measure and send it to me? It would help very much with my work.
Best regards

Some joints stuck ...
Then we connected the connecting link to the gear

Hi Israel,
Only now I saw that picture you sent. I waited for the information on p.m.
I thank you and wish you a successful new year in your project. All the best

Hi Israel,

I have attached a drawing of the Right Hand fuel tank from a Mk1* Carrier which another member has kindly lent me. If you require any other dimensions let me know.
