I would just like to thank Russ Gregg from Canada who has taken the time to go to the Borden Museum and take a lot of photos and measurements for me. It is help like this that makes this forum invaluable in the restoration of these machines. Thankyou Russ

Just a small update as to my progress on the turrets. They are both progressing but not too fast as there is a lot of hand cutting and grinding to make everything fit as it should.

No worries Colin, I'm glad to be able to contribute in even the smallest way to this spectacular undertaking. I hope to make it to your side of the globe one day and will certainly stop by for a visit.

Russ, I too hope you can make it over this side of the world one day.
Another eventful day as I got both covers cut out, drilled and bolted on but I still need to get the correct bolts.

Hi Colin,
Still enjoying following your progress.
Is the engine in the Vickers a Meadows engine?
If so, if you are on Facebook there was a post today on the HCVC, Historic Commercial Vehicle Club, (Australia), of a fellow with a 6 cylinder diesel Meadows engine he had running.
Though yours is petrol if I remember correctly.
Cheers Tim
