Thanks Richard, I'll put one aside for you
I'm still working on the engine and transmission but took a break from that and made the heat shields, mufflers and brackets. They are quite a big muffler for a small tank.

I made a really crude press die and formed the ends as per the drawing I have and some baffles for the inside. Rolled the tube to suit the ends and welded it all together. Also the clamping brackets as well.

All bolted on and it's a good fit. Hopefully the engine will be fitted in the next couple of weeks.

What you call crude, most of us build up ourselves and call impressive.

Hi Colin,

I am not sure if these are like your tank, or have been posted before, but i saw vickers and thought of you.

'Vickers light tanks in Syria [PRG 691/12/22] • Photograph'
'View of a Vickers (5 ton) light tank on a trailer behind a truck.'


Cheers,
Ian.

Default 2 Vickers in Cowra C1940

Hi Colin,

Found this photo on Facebook and am not sure where it originated from. One Robert Hunt uploaded it and thinks it is Cowra NSW in 1940.

42866960_1622203514550184_2588403238260703232_n.jpg

The front one has no. 277 on the front but I cannot read the second one. The car on the right is a 1939 Chev sedan.

Regards Rick.
