As I don't have a supply of heavy plate steel in the widths I need, you can see I have welded sections together to suit my purpose. I am happy that my joins are satisfactory.

I am waiting for a costing
 for the supply of new gears and a few other intricate parts for the reduction hub . Once I get them I can finish off that part, fit them and then fit the tracks.

I have copied and numbered the bearing cover as per the original with the exception of the date. That might confuse a few
 later when i'm worm fodder

Hi Colin,
Lovely job as usual !! So are you using Vickers or Bren sprockets ? Different number of teeth or just slightly different mounting pattern ? David

Hi David and thankyou, I'm using bren sprockets as that is what was on it when I got it. I don't know exactly what the Vickers sprocket looks like or if it had the same amount of teeth or in fact if it was the same size as the bren. It must have been the same pitch and distance or the track would have been different. Anyway it has got the Australian sprockets now

Vickers .5 in
Many thanks to Tim Bell (MLU)who has given me a quality lead on information regarding the elusive Vickers . 5 in MG details. With any luck we should be able to replicate the exterior features of this particular MG and in so doing keep the high level of authenticity that Colin is striving for.

Vickers .50 Cal
David,
There is a set of line drawings for the 0.50 in the Vickers Technical Handbook as pictured. Not Blueprints but you can scale from these. PM sent as I can send you either a hard or soft copy if you would like. Regards Phillip
