Looking swell.....that number seems to ring a bell mate... cant wait to get mine cracing again.. desperate now ! i have the throw over bar if you need one to copy.. i presume its the round bar with the splines on ? or is it the flat plate that bolts onto the side of the gearbox ?

Shaun, How close are you to putting the engine in position?. I have been fabricating the stainless exhaust down pipes at work and want to align them exact from the manifold to the floor casting before welding the pipe to the flange.
So the engine whould need to be in situ aligned with the rear gearbox mount, also a 24 stud Canadian engine. If you are near to doing this let us know, if not I will have to swing in my un rebuilt engine to do this. Kev.

Making some progress I see, is that a T16 idler wheel on your front bogie? Or were they used on later UCs... Can't remember earlier in the thread, were you lucky enough to locate the WD number on the hull or is your number on the side an approximation?

Hi Alec,
If you are on about the return roller, the all steel ones were fitted on later universals as well as T16s. Seeing as im restoring it for 1944 asit would have been in service not factory finish i can get away with not having the rubber wheel. I managed to find the original "CT" number painted on the side of the hull , if you look back through the strip down photos you will be a able to see where it became visible. Same goes for the cammo pattern.

work carries on well. finally got a price back for new springs so i will be ordering them (Ben i will PM you) anybody else need new springs ? I picked up a full set of very very good wheels at the weekend, all blasted and ready to paint. got to strip out a couple of axle pins from an old suspenion unit and wash the bearings (of which all seem very good. did a bit of fabrication on boxes, bins, wings and odds and sods, pleased with the results so far.) all the steering components are now fitted so i am ready to habg the rear axle.I should be collecting the radiator tomorrow after having it recored . then im ready to prep the engine and trans.
