Hello Carl,
Welcome to this forum. I would suggest staman army trucks and tanks: http://www.jeeparts.nl/ He is big on dodge and jeep but also on sherman parts and he does business in England, just send him an e-mail. Wim

Hi Wim
I have already tried him and he doesn't have anything. He had a pair and sold them to a Peter Arldeson ? in Holland. He has a sherman and M 10 i understand. Do you know him by any chance ? Carl |

Carl,
It's a long shot, but you might want to try the Brussels tankmuseum. There is still a fair amount of WW2 relics on Belgian army ranges. All of these are now owned by the Brussels army-museum. I seem to recall there were multiple M10's among them. Maybe they are willing to trade the parts. Alex |

I'm afraid I cannot confirm this as I do not have the relevant parts lists. But I'm sure someone on MLU will be able to confirm my suggestion, or rubbish it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
