forgot to say i have schematics for side armour however some of the boys over there are running a scan and cut facility so you get the plates all cut and drilled.

the drilling takes absolutely ages to do too.

right the lower hull number is located on the rear gunners side track guard on the angle bar that holds the rear armour on. your wd number (pending on age of the carrier) is located on the top of the front section of armour infront of the driver, but i see you have this already.

Richard,
Thanks for the advice on the location of the lower hull number. I FOUND IT LOL 9233 with what looks like a circle with a line running through it at the end, I dont know if this is part of it
Thanks again
Carl

Carl try taking a photo of it using macro setting on your camera, you can usually get good images of the digits.
