These are the turret stays, there are 4 of this style on each tank and two different ones which I am yet to fab. Can't have my turret bouncing off while driving

That is because Colin doesn't build their tanks as he has a more deserving project at the moment.

"Russian ones seem to pop off pretty easily"......... There is a new expression associated with this on the news recently - it is called a 'lollipop'

I just made an inline temp gauge sender unit holder. The gauge is a original type that was in the Vickers but there is no where that I can connect it to. I definitely need this working so this is the only way that I could think of that was simple and hopefully effective.

Great solution!

I realise you've probably used pieces of scrap to make it, but I wonder if using brass or aluminium would have been better for thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance?

Hi Tony, you may be very well right, but there are quite a few steel parts I've already made in the cooling system and I will certainly be filling it up with a high quality coolant
