Well work continues while i wait until the snap is done... i managed to get the cam plate out (as previously mentioned) and the caps off the cross tube, also managed to get the front idlers off however they needed some heat applied to the nuts before she would let go.. once off they were given a good clean... the gunners side of the lower hull has been wired down with a grinder and mandrel, along with the idler for that side... work plods on, but now she is in a state where as soon as the rivets are banged in she can be etch primered stem to stern and rebuilt ! i have not been able to get the cross tube to move so will need to strip the rollers down etc this will get done tomorrow (unless the snap is ready in which case i will be straight on with the rivets)
here are some pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() rebuilt however needs new bearings..i have ordered three..one for each roller and one for the spigot on the cam plate they are all the same 6305's ![]() ![]() cam plate has since been stripped down and de rusted ready for its new bearing, etch primered and painted. lower hull meets cleaned idler unit..both wire mandrelled to an inch of their lives ![]()

well the snap was done today, I did the easy end and Bill did the business end, i learned loads from him today so my greatest thanks must go to him.... we discussed about how hard the metal actually is, it may still need hardening..mine will be a test bench...he has the facilities to make further snaps for those that need them..and now that he has a pattern he can turn them around quite quickly so folk that want any just shout up and we will get something sorted....they are quite light weight so postage is not expensive they can be made by him to specification ie length...diameter of rod...shank size etc etc...
![]() ![]() The lower hull has now been etch primed... cam plate and rollers rebuilt and painted... just need to get her buttoned up now and she can be base coated and rebuilt.
