news 432's Being scrapped in large numbers.
sharky replied to diamond-t-steve's topic in Tracked vehicles
we have been in touch with EMR's head office there is no way of obtaining either vehicles or spares from said vehicles unfortunatly not even in quanity unless you want to buy an unprocessed 100 tonnes of scrap and hope the odd fv432 bit appears in it un touched i would love to see some pics of them scrapping 432's out of interest.

We had a quiet afternoon last weekend so the boss decided we should remove the turret so heres some pics , first we removed gun and mantlet suprisingly with a bit of heat and a home made tool the slot head (giant) bolts came undone quite easily . it came this far then got stuck removed recoil guard and that gave us the half inch we needed next off came the turret thanks for looking will post some pics of interior and turret basket later this week Sharky

travelled 150 miles today down to kent, fixed an engine problem on an M8 for a very nice guy(Ben) and was given more than enough tea and biscuits whilst spannering followed by swarfeega, hot water and a local sausage roll and a lovely cold beer , now thats civilised .

get the engine fired up on itand drive :-| just dont go off road.just allow plenty of time as 9 miles an hour is top speed i think

great video it certainly made the dozer grunt when they tried to put it back on its tracks. its really good to see these recoveries love the guy giving the helping hand to remove bow machine gun , and stacking the live machine gun mags,i hope they wrote out a full risk assement, method statement and had proper insurance and gave all present a weeks induction cxourse handed out the appropriate coshh form etc etc Iain
