Chris,
I have a partial carrier that I am willing to part out. It currently has the rear armor (uncut). It has the half moon shaped armor and uncut lower rear.
Please Pm me if you are interested if purchasing the rear armor. I could cut the entire back end of the carrier off if you want.
Thanks,
Bren
PS Your new carrier use to belong to me several owners ago. I spray painted the TD number on the side to peserve it for the new owner.

Brennon,

Do you still have the front armor for a T16? One of ours had a big section cut out, to include the gun port and hatch.

No,
The partial carrier that I have only has the lower.
It was an old scat from seco.
They cut all the upper armor off.
Sorry I can't help you.
All lower armor is still available.

Managed to get a bit more done this week!

Anybody got a T-16 gearbox? or any pointers?

I suspect that the rear dif and brakes etc have been refurbed in the past or could be NOS.

Everything is as new, the brakes shoes etc are as new!

Picked up a nice 19 set and some NOS rear lights.

Thanks for the offer Bren, hopefully I have sorted the rear armour out.

Hired a plasma cutter and removed the damaged floor plates.

Also cut out the damaged rear armour!

Need to weld the new parts in next week.

Chris. Just been thinking about your rear mounts that you need to repair. Personally speaking when it comes to he job I would get the tub perfectly level then offer the axle up to the hull making sure it is square and level then take your measurements and distances y thoughts being that if the hull is not cock on and the axle is bolted in even just slightly skew, the lower hull may fracture or at very least pull the weld apart. Finding an uncut hull without its axle may be the route you can make patterns which you can place onto your hull so you fix the bits in the right places.

Just thinking out loud.
