Thankyou for the replies, I feel like part of the forum already. Richard, the rear armor plate has been cut and is not bent. Good to know the idlers can be resurfaced. Thanks for the link too.

Maurice, thanks, it's encouraging that some of this metal is available, like the dash. I'm curious about the hole in the armor.

It was the restoration thread by Jordan Baker that inspired me to buy this from a friend. I guess this is a MK1? My son keeps asking me and I'm not sure.

A sticky on armor plate dimensions would be great!

I've got to ask, is a carrier devalued by having mild steel plate for armor? Is real armor plate available to buy and cut to size?

I've parked it for the winter, even though it runs and drives(according to the previous owner), we pushed it with the backhoe onto some 2x8's and wrapped it with 2 canvas tarps. The ground was back frozen today so the tracks are still clean.

I took lots of pictures of the inside before wrapping her up.Phil
