OK so the problem was the photos were too big and for some reason it up ended them Anyway I will have to remember that. The Chev engine is in and it is a very, very close fit but that's OK as long as it is in. I custom made the exhaust and that too is fitted. I have to do some linkage and final drive completion which will take a while.

Chris, to answer your question about my CNC Plasma cutter. I am running a Hypertherm 85 and it does the job for me but is a far cry compared to a water jet.
Speed, air pressure and amps per cut is something that needs to be played with to get good results and of course clean tips. I also have a air dryer above my compressor and run it for at least 10-15 mins before I cut anything as water in the air is a definite no no.
Colin.

Who'd have thought that there was a good side to the Corona virus?

Default Thank you

Hi Colin

Thank you so much for again updating your excellent work on the Vickers Light Tanks again. I feel as if I have been starved for some time and I look forward to again reading and seeing the photos of your progress on your restoration project. My readers will be thrilled. Stay Safe.

Cheers Mate

Tony

Great to see the updates! I'll admit that since things went quiet in here, and after the fires we all heard about in AUS, I was concerned for you.

Glad that things are moving along! Your project is impressive.

Brad
