Thankyou
Hi Richard and thankyou very much for the offer of the carrier wheels. The reason I am now more than ever excited about my Scout Carrier project is that I finally have a full set of correct British pattern track, sprockets and idler wheels, as well as enough Army modified Australian pattern roadwheels to get the machine back onto it's tracks and potentially driven around on special occasions in the future.
The main thing was the discovery of the photo's of my machine with this configuration in service. There is nothing like actual photographic evidence to silence the doubting element. Now I just need to source an armful of track pins and a set of bearings and seals for the roadwheels and we are in business! Oh yeah and I haven't forgotten about finding a workable system for posting up images on MLU of the project as I go... Cheers Phill

I used the 50 x 27 x 110mm bearings as the 40mm ID bearings were so expensive, i have machined spacers to go onto the axles so will post up on my thread in due course, if the bearings are the same as on yours (as mine) i can provide you with the dimensions if required.
Cheers Richie

Early pattern
Hello again. Yes the parts books describe the Scout as having the early pattern wheel bearing and seals, but of course (apart from the british idlers) the rest of thge roadwheels are Australian pattern, as are the bearings and seals.
I will liaise with some of the local carrier restorers to see what they did with their roadwheels. Cheers Phill
