I'm always on the lookout for strategic spare parts for the carrier. Recently came across what I believe to be replacement axle shafts for the front idler wheel brackets. I've not found any reference to them being an individual part in the T-16 manuals but they look exactly the same as what I have on my carrier.
These are still in the wartime packing wax for the most part. Wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this for the T-16 or other variations within the Universal Carrier family of vehicles since it was probably interchangeable.
