Carrier with alternative perspective

Rob Dyba · #1 24-01-12, 15:15

I have done the measure up on fitting double bogies to a un-lengthened hull Colin, you can run double bogies on an un-extended carrier hull, you just need to remount the cross tube. I had double bogies on my Vickers replica before the project was abandoned. Can still have track warping for a little additional fabrication. I gave up on the Vickers replica due to the poor state of the hull I was working with....it was not worth repairing.

Hi Colin..
Out of curiosity,are you a machinist or a tool and die maker..??You certainly do good work and the only guy that I have met with skills like yours ,an absolute wizzard with metal or anything technical at all..gunsmith..watch maker..welder..machinist..and an MLU member and good friend ,Greg Anderson...
Had 200 Acres to play with all his toys..that he rebuilt..painted and restored..by himself..Jeeps..a couple ..old cars..old trucks..
Full machine shop and 6 bay storage garage..loved the tools..
His restorations looked like they just rolled out of the factory..

And what did Greg do for a living...????
Lawyer....amazing...!!!!

Alex, no I'm none of the above. The only actual trade I have is a butcher which I did for over 10 years but did structual steel for quite a while as well but this is just self taught stuff.
Also I must say sorry to the Bedford Boys for the youtube comments. Is there no way that you can't get it deleted from there.
Colin.

Hi Colin

I tried to open the site to see what the comment was about and it was no longer accessable. Love following your treads mate, but I enjoyed your bar as much as your workshop.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY

Cheers

No need for an apology. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We are trying to find out how to get the video removed.
