VICKERS MK6B's resto

[Lionelgee]

G'day Colin,

It is great to see some posts from you again, and that progress is still being made on the Vickers. It has been a long time between posts Colin. A lot of people have been in withdrawal.

Kind regards
Lionel

Hi Colin.

I’ve flipped them all around for you.

Hi Colin,

I assume you have the manual for the Vickers Mk.VIA?

Just saw this repro if you don't:

Hi Mike, no I didn't but I certainly do now. That looks like some great information. Interestingly enough I just saw one page on there that said one revolution of the traversing Gbox turns the turret 5 deg but in another original book I have says it is 3 deg! Not that is makes a lot of difference to me. That could be extremely handy as I have a mech coming in the next week to help me set the steering clutches before it goes back in for the last time (I hope). In the meantime I am machining plates to fir the hyd final drives to Wombat. Will post pictures once that part is completed.
Thankyou very much for the info. I should get the download copy in a few hours.
Colin.

Thank you Jordan for turning my photos around.👌 Hi Tony, It has been way too long but I am excited to get them running now.
I am at present making an adapter plate out of 25mm plate. AS I don't have any wide enough and don't want to buy any more, I have chosen to weld two pieces together and machine then as one. For the job they are doing the join will not be an issue.
