James, I might just do that if I can change my phone to B&W.
Lynn, I have two guns, both very old and I purchased very cheap years ago. I would say the bores are worn as well as the pistons and the valves only work sometimes. As much as I like to get the best out of everything I have, I decided that as I have a lot of rivets to do on the two tanks it was the best decision to get a brand new one. Not to mention, I was trying to do a rivet the other day and the gun kept stopping and my wife was at the door listening to me cursing it  , so she chirped in and said, " oi' instead of getting yourself all flustered and angry, why don't you just go and get a new one". So, as I'm not one to argue with my wife  , I did just that. Purely to keep her happy of course

These couple of pieces are for the underside transmission cover. One tank has a badly rusted one and the other was missing completely.

It must be surrounded by some rubber I assume as it was water tight.

Being sunday and I'm impatient, I needed some slot countersink bolts so I modified some hex bolts cut a slot with a thin disc. Job done.

6 wheeler lorry
Colin after the Vickers are finished, you will have to find and restore one of these 6 wheelers in order to cart the little tanks around . The opening scenes of this movie reveal all !

Hi Colin,
Following your threads with much pleasure. Will say I have always been a great fan of these little tanks. Cannot add any more than my admiration for your efforts. Kind regards Tim
