As the fan is sucking in all the dust anyway, sandblasting you along the way, it makes no difference to the amount of dust getting in your carrier. I know from last year and several years at the Hopfarm.

Hello Richie,
Excellent thread on a job well done! But could you please attach the pictures to your posting instead of using a link to an externally hosted picture? I'm asking as history tells us that those externally linked pictures disappear one day, and then a useful thread like this becomes useless. Thanks in advance! Hanno MLU Administrator

Well I have the shoes back and the drums will be there waiting when I get home, the company recommended woven pads which is as per the comments above, so good call !
The company worked out what I needed and made the pads oversize they are just over 12mm thick ! So will get them all built back up and tracks back on when I get home later !

 Spent tonight sanding down the pads..... Sick as a dawg !!!! Got one side just about there with one side to go !

If you get the shoes touching around the best part of the lining, it will good because modern lining (non-asbestos) can take ages to bed in and you should get good steering and brake performance immediately. regards, Richard

The nearside drum is on but like I say it binds, and the adjuster is at it's smallest, I can still turn the drum by hand so I am in two minds to take more off or let the drum take any high spots off. Contact area is huge now so I hope the thing stops and steers as good as I anticipate.

Italian campaign
Richie, here's a nice shot of an Italian campaign 3" mortar carrier in your colour scheme, note the ingenious way of carrying a spare wheel, 'mortar tube bracket', nice detailed character picture.
Kev.

I had an idea about a boat race involving carriers and tracks... Two man teams per carrier... Tracks broken and withdrawn from the vehicle... Last team to fit the tracks gets a penalty.
However Sbi have just torn a muscle in my back , I can no longer put up a reasonable standard or competition ! Kev I have never seen that image before, excellent quality ! If the carrier was displaying that scheme, the chances are it came in via Bizzerta and perhaps had a stint on Op Husky.

Well got the carrier back yesterday so decided to start to fit the antenna bracket base.
This year will hopefully be one for the detail stuff , I still have to fabricate the radio battery box, the gunners seat, and a number of bins etc etc. Then I can get the radio and intercom kit fitted. !
