I am fortunate to have an original clutch, brake, Accelerator floor plate so I replicated one today and some more linkage. The plate has a 1/4' wire edge which I can do on my bead roller.

There are quite a few panels inside the tank that this machine will be very useful for. I cut the holes in it with my cnc plasma cutter.

Hi Rick, thanks for the photos. I sure would to borrow the Pucka one for a few months.
I have been doing the internals for the last week or so. I have a few originals to copy which is always a bonus.

After spending a couple of days making two sets, I should have remembered that old rule! "Measure twice, cut once" or never assume, or don't take things for granted. After completing the two set and bolting them together then doing a test fit I found that although the originals looked great they were in fact out of shape. I decided to do two complete new sets and new forming dies. It was definitely worth it.

Well spotted Chris: the Mk6A was restored by a staff member and an enthusiastic bunch of volunteers at the Army Tank Museum, so there is no guarantee that a No.19 set was ever actually fitted while the vehicle was in service.
