I am also restoring a 17 pounder. It was displayed outdoors, so naturally any small parts that weren't welded on have been stolen. A parts manual would be of great help in fabricating replacements, both for the missing parts and those that have been mutilated by welding. It appears that a couple of copies have already made their way to Canada. If the quality is good enough that a copy-of-a-copy would still be usable, it might be simpler to acquire one from someone in Canada than to ship it from Oz. I'm assuming we're talking about a paper copy. If it's on disc, of course quality isn't an issue.
I would also be interested in purchasing any other literature on the 17 pounder, as well as any kit, dummy rounds or empty casings, etc.
Also, if anyone has any literature or kit for the Bofors 37 mm anti-tank gun, I'm also looking for anything to do with it.
