I had started a separate thread looking for good clear pics of the gauges for the instrument panel. I do realize I have some inaccuracies in the building of this carrier but I can live with them. Thank you for all the comments.... Harold

the left outer linkage needs to go right across the hull to the gunners side then back to the rear corner where it meets the brake drum. there are some linkage shots on my new member thread.

Thank you Richard for pointing out the mistake on the linkage. I have corrected it now by checking out your pics. If you hadn't pointed that out to me I would have never noticed the error again thank you very much. Here are a couple pics of the corrected linkage.
