Regarding the driver's seat: they look identical to the driver's seat of a Canadian Ram tank. The design of these was inherited from the Canadian built Valentine tanks which were a copy of the British built Valentine. Very similar seats were used in Daimler Mk1 armoured cars and quite a few British commercial vehicles of the period.
You have done a great job of reproducing it, and well done for not "simplifying" it to save time. Actually that applies to everything you have done so far - brilliant ! David

Thankyou all for your comments and information.
  I have had to give myself a reality check and go back a step or two and get back on track. It is very easy to make parts that make something take shape which is what I have done but I am going back to my original path and do the inside and mechanical or I will have to pull it all apart even more. I have been busy freeing up all the linkage and there is a lot.

I also happen to notice that the farmer had modified the driving arrangements and made his own style of plate as you can see in the first photo. He must also had a Bren Gun Carrier as well as I just happened to see the shape of the plate and it is a side engine cover off a carrier. I have never had an original before but now I do.
Time to do the internals.

Wireless set No. 9
To get a indication of the size and bulk of the UK No. 9 wireless set , this training film depicts the set being set up in the field . AWM F05239
The Aust. WS 109 set appears to be a altogether different design compared to the UK 9 set. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/mil_gb...s_set_no9.html I can't imagine how they managed to install a No. 9 set and its battery inside that little tank !

Tony, I'm so glad I'm not wasting my time
 Mike you are right, they are enormous. I think it would still fit in the back of the turret as it would be about 4' across and the batteries would be down in the turret basket. How things have changed

I am fortunate to have an original clutch, brake, Accelerator floor plate so I replicated one today and some more linkage. The plate has a 1/4' wire edge which I can do on my bead roller.
