That sprocket is not the right one for the Vickers Light tank,(Mk6A) because its an Aussie sprocket, isn't it?
Those ones in that fence look about right.
My observations are that you tank should be running Aussie track (with heads on the pins (Vickers tank specific), not lead plugged)with wide wheels(same as Aussie wheels) that have flat spokes(same as British/ Canadian universal carriers)

Cool

do you think they made this type of sprocket to protect the front nuts? Aidan

Lynn, you could be right, they are of the same design as the aust one. I will do some research about them.
Rich!, I don't think I'm ready for another relationship just yet as there's too many good miles left in the one I've got. My wife is part of the ground crew for the f18 hornets here in adelaide so she's very handy when I need hydrolic work done or fix the odd turbine. And she's a great cook!!! And she loves lots of armour around as long as its not on the kitchen table.
Thanks for the offer and by the way I do need a 6cyl meadows engine for the vickers if you happened to see one lying around.
Regards
Colin.
