Having only one drive hub I am attempting to fabricate another. As far as I know, the missing one is on the Vickers at Duxford. Anyway! I cut some supports so it retains the flat surface while bending. I know I won't get the exact shape but somewhere acceptable. I drilled through all three sections to stop it from pulling in when under pressure.

I am going to fabricate the bearing housings, weld and machine the excess off after completion. I need two more for the other tank but will wait until I decide what type of drive system will be suitable. after I weld in the boss, I will be able to lathe the outside perimeter down to size. The holes that are in the dish at the moment will be machined off and new holes put in the correct locations.

Almost finished the drive hub. I just need to drill the perimeter holes, face off the plate edge and make the bearing spacer that fits in between the two bearings but I will wait until I get my new ones. I sure will be disappointed if this tank doesn't drive after all this work
  But I do have plenty of confidence she'll work.

This part is the reduction hub off the drivers side and I need to make a complete one for the other side. The other part I just made was the outer hub which brings me to a question.??
I remember seeing on a thread some where here a T16 diff in pieces for refurbishment and I'm pretty sure I saw a similar set up. Am I right saying the T16 diff is the same. The chances of the gears being the same would be remote but has some one got any photos or info.

This part is what holds the reduction gears and hub. It's probably the most intricate part to fabricate. I'm using what ever steel I have lying around the place and I don't mind welding pieces together.

The design is quite complicated and I assume they had some voids to save on material and probably weight.

I need to do the top section which I will have to allow a couple of days to machine, fit and re machine to get it all running true. My new lathe is a god sent as my old one never had the diameter that I need. Any way it's coming together nicely.
