Hi Brenton, there is a few fittings there but a bit worse for ware so I will probably replace most af them.

Hi Ron, yes it is a nice little project. After the way the way mortar carrier performs and handles I'm going to disgust all those avid restorers and put in the windsor and C4 which I have. Its like having an automatic armoured gokart on steroids. Model AAGOS 6019
Colin.

Will it fit in there? I looked at that idea once but I found there wasn't enough room. The problem was the transmission was too long. The flathead and trans are very short.

Hi Ledsel, the hull is exactly the same as the mortar carrier. In fact the mortar carrier was an ofspin af the 2 pounder hull. Thats the reason I am restoring this one as it is still fresh in my mind for fabrication and engine fitting..(just a minor upgrade)
regards
Colin.
