New T16 Universal Carrier
Hi,
Just bought a T16. It's a Swiss conversion, so lots of changes. Where is a good source for the manuals? I will post some photo's this week. At the moment the biggest job is the rear axle. The original axle was removed with a cutting torch! So need to get some new plate cut and welded in. The hard part will be getting the correct curve profile on the side plates. Regards Chris

Welcome aboard!
Best place for the T-16 manuals is Portrayal Press http://www.portrayal.com/ but you need to hurry as they are closing down. Shoot them a message at their web site and they should be able to give you a price with shipping for all the wartime manuals as copies. Also good luck getting that rear armor welded up for the differential to bolt back up. Seems a lot of the carriers had that section blow torched off as it was the fastest way to strip the rear end off since it saved having to turn bolts. A lot of bogie suspension units were similarly destroyed as a fast way to remove road wheels.
