Sourcing track pads FV433
HI ALL! I'm a new member with a problem. I'm trying to source track pads for a FV433 Abbott SPG. Our local museum uses this vehicle as part of it's rolling stock for public education and honouring the Veterans. Also require intercom/periscopes/antennae for this and a MK2/3 Ferret. I have tried the big suppliers in the U.K but really would like to find these in North America. Thanks for the patience. Derek

Your really dreaming to find them over here.
How many pads are you after? When speaking to the guys at Oshawa recently they were talking about having pads cast for their about which is in dire need of them. R

they are in abundance here in the UK bud i think you might have to bite the bullet and freight them over....if you do this it may be prudent to get as many as you can afford.
www.milweb.net some of the MOD tenders can get them to order for you direct from the MOD.

What about asking the BATUS British garrison at Suffield when they last sold FV432 pads and who bought them. Steel is steel when sold by the pound, but APC track pads have a different value. They sold some FV432 vehicles about 15 yrs ago and there were some around Regina.
