Scout T5329

[Ben]

Hello

I've not really done any work on the Scout since it's arrival other than bits and bobs. While I wait for some parts to arrive for the Bren I thought i'd start stripping the Scout hull ready to repair the cut armour plus all the parts i take off will need to be overhauled anyway.

First photos show some of the differences between the early British pre universal carriers and the later UC MK 1. The air boxes are curved rather than angled (shown next to UC one). The pedal arrangement doesn't have plates on the brake and clutch just the levers and the throttle doesn't have a pedal like the UC just a simple lever on the bar. The gear lever is much shorter, has different side plates but the main change is that there is no selector gate on the early carriers.
