Just a little teaser....
Slow weekend on the restoration front, could only get an hour or so in there today and started to straighten the exhaust guard rails.
But, I was very lucky to pick this up via a friend the other day.

Would you like fries with your 3" mortar........
This fried egg ring is the correct mount for the WW2 Lensatic Sight for the 3" Mortar. I also found a local collector with the upper tube band - strange where this stuff turns up.
Just now searching for the lower band, leather cap and ball end for the tube. Work on stripping suspension bogies continues (slowly) but here is the bearing for the steering column and some of the restored bits sitting on the shelf.

My new (second) favourite toy.
How on the earth have I ever coped without an oxy set, this is the best thing ever.....
Siezed nuts, no worries - heat them up. Siezed clevis pins, no worries - heat them up. I feel like I've just found the wheel. Almost finished getting the hull ready for the sandblasted, today removed the clamps for the track winch, cross shaft and rollers. Also continued to tap out all the threads.
