You are quite right Roy. I have just printed off the pictures and drawing you kindly sent me. It's all quite clear what to do. I'll be looking for your red truck at W&P. Ron

Yes Roy. For a one day trip, I did not like the new venue!! I couldn't find anyone as I wasn't used to the layout. When my friend 'Hong Kong Dave' offered to take us round in his Jeep to see some of the exhibits. Vehicle movement was curtailed whilst the arena event was going on, so we had to abandon the idea! My eyes are still giving me trouble from the dust.......Last year it was mud!!! Ron

That carrier has a big (6 digit?) number considering it is a very early MkI* U.C.

was thinking,could it be that the two welded strips to form a rebate for the cover a field modification is?
without the two strips it is possible that a bullet lift off the plate and make some damage inside the hull.maybee that,s why they weld the strips beside the cover.
