Would there have been baffles, in them originally?

Hi Neil, yes the baffle I made is the same as the original tank I have. I would like to use the original but it is just too far gone with the bottom and rear eaten out but it does give me a look inside to see what is there.

How, or were, the tanks secured, Colin?
I thought I saw an angle iron strip along either the base or back, but that might just have been a form of standoff to keep the tank separated from the hull. Or my eyes playing tricks on me. David

Hi David, there are a number of brackets inside the rear well with felt padding that holds the tank in place and another one on the rear plate that when bolted down holds downward pressure on the tank which holds it securely in place. I think the strap you may have seen in some other photos would be one of two straps that hold the water tank in place in the adjoining compartment.
Colin.

Here is a link to a Pathe film, the year in review 1940. Toward the end is some short clips of Vickers Light Tanks. Very much enjoying your posts, cheers Tim
