Most certainly an interesting factor I'm surprised that the direction of travel isn't a general standard. Anyway, I put the Meadows ring gear along side the Chev and they appear to head the in same direction which looking from the front to the rear is anti clockwise. Interesting point is the Chev starter pushes to the ring gear and the Meadows pulls into the ring gear but the starter is on the same side on both engines.

If they are both belt driven -why not just look at the fans? (My luck one will be a pusher, and the other a puller)

Failing that, put a big wrench on your input shaft and spin the works in the direction that the new engine spins

Default Vickers (Light Tank) at Puckapunyal

Hello Colin, have been watching your restoration with admiration of your skills. We had a chance to get into the Tank Museum at Pucka with our local car club today. Grabbed a few photos of their Vickers with you in mind, unsure if they are of any use? Our club has a few ex 1st armoured personal, a case of not what you know but who you know to get such a comprehensive tour.

#1 - Spent cartridge case catcher. No way a this can jam or be fowled once you see it.
#2 - Same as #1
#3 - Looking through drivers hatch.
#4 - As above looking at turrent basket.
#5 - operating mechanism for drivers hatch.

More to follow.

Cheers,

Dave.

Last lot, hope they assist.

#1 - Side view of rubber track guards
#2 - Side CES storage.

The Museum is now open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday weekly as well as the third weekend of every month. Entry through the entrance gate security is photo ID and a smile.

I am more than happy to take more photos if you wish just point in the right direction.

Hope these assist.

Cheers,

Dave.
