Default more parts made

Went to the local foundry last week to get elevation handwheels recast for the 2pdr gun.
Results were good so I now have four handwheels. Will get pics later this week

Default 2Pdr elevation handwheel

Just got four of these cast at the local foundry and pretty pleased with the results. Now all I need to do is get the machining done

Handwheels are looking good. What type of metal is that ?

On the normal 2 pdr gun, the elevation wheels have notches round the entire periphery as that is for the elevation lock. Does the carrier version have a different system to lock in elevation?

the material is aluminium.
As for the notches all the way round not sure.
This was cast from an original 2Pdr hand wheel which I removed from a gun to cast so know for sure its correct.
The notches only run around 1/4 of the outside and as its only to lock it makes sense to me
Cheers
