They are a good fit and straight just like they are supposed to be.

With all the photos of the Vickers I can't seem to find one of the bracket that is in the last photo here. Does any one know what it is for. It's not for a jack but it does look about the right size for a Vickers water jacket.

Odd bracket
Quote:
It might be part of the bracket for holding the oil can, cannot make out the exact position in relation to the engine bay/rear crew section. I have some stowage diagrams that may help.....maybe not !!! One of the drawings (not numbered) has a layout of some internal stowage on the hull sides, there does not seem to be a bracket listed as such, but there were all sorts of items stashed there. The drawing shows clips and fittings, hope this helps a bit ??? I will email you some stuff later. George.

Colin, is that in the engine bay? Is it the generator mount?

Lynn, no, the engine bay is in the front part. The generator is bolted directly to the engine. I'll get a better perspective photo tomorrow. It holds something about 4" in diameter and I have only seen one other tank with it in view as per the photo att.
Rick, I think that is the Duxford one and one in Egypt.

Could it be for storing the 4" smoke launcher tube?

Hello again, Colin.
I am curious about the internal layout of these tanks, in regards to power plant and crew accommodations, in the overall evolution of tank design. From the World War One beginning for tanks, where everything was just stuffed into an essentially common interior, creating a rather noisy, foul environment for the crew, the Second World War tank had developed isolated engine and crew compartments with vastly improved crew conditions. Gun fumes were still an issue I think until the postwar development of the barrel mounted fume extractors. How does the Vickers appear to fit along this evolutionary line? David
