Project PHOENIX

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi all - discussions last night with my guru, Dingo Man, led us to Mike Cecil's book on Carriers. Whilst discussing the Tracked Truck we discovered that its drive sprocket was a 42 tooth sprocket. Colin and I had calculated that the Phoenix sprocket was 43 tooth, but maybe it could be 42 tooth. Next question, was any tracked vehicle fitted with a 42 tooth sprocket so that GM could utilise that as opposed to manufacturing a new one. Am I correct when I say that the Vickers Light Tank utilised Carrier tracks, and if so, how many teeth were on its drive sprocket? Also was the Vickers fitted with Pommy or Oz track?
