Rubber on wheels
Bob, on the, lets call them British pattern, carriers, Bren to Universal the track adjuster wheel had rubber on it which was not only narrower but also not as thick as the road wheels. This was to allow the track lugs to meet and presumably slide against the metal rim of the idler as the gradual turn was made without taking out chunks of rubber. Was this the same on the Australian pattern carriers?
