trustmeimamechanic Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Good evening Gents , I am restoring an IH Halftrack and have a few questions that I will post here but also thought this could be a thread that other IHC owners could use to post questions and answers . Everyone I have spoken too and with has been very helpful and friendly so thanks for all your help so far....... Question .......what colour is correct for a wartime British Army Halftrack ? Much like everyone with US vehicles it seems that there are many shades and opinions and "Olive Drab" can vary by several shades . My M5A1 is ex REME and was it seems was totally rebuilt in around 1964 so any evidence I can find is lost and painted Bronze Green or coated with Red Oxide even right up under the dash . Question.........what are the correct lock nuts for the armour bolts etc ? 3/8 UNF I know .....part is listed as H1-07-25853 Nut Safety 3/8-24 N.F.3 but Nylocks were I would have thought post war ? Currently collecting parts and waiting for better weather for sandblasting and painting ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
