  1. Gentlemen,

     

    Im now in a position to start patching some armour on a Bren Carrier. I do have some spare 7mm armour to patch it with. Can anyone advise me the best way to weld once grinded and ready to fit ? as ive heard it can crack or split being armoured steel and not mild steel ????????

     

    Guessing once its in place it can be grinded, sandblasted and maybe a little filler to make flush prior to painting.

     

     

    Thanks......

  2. Im selling two of my British made Bren Carriers. Price is 10k sterling for both excluding shipping. I can help with logistics/shipping if required. Bargain for someone me thinks.

     

    Carriers are also listed on Milweb. Located at my house in NZ. Any questions then please ask. Shipping back to Europe will be around 5k. I also have spares available, too. Pictured below is one of the carriers for sale.

  3. Very nice Sir Indeed.

     

    Looking forward to the restoration, once you find or build a chassis. Great find with the tracks BTW :D Also, keep an eye out on milweb.com as a guy was selling the top armour from German Halftrack and a chassis. Thought you would have bought it.

  4. There is a Large red painted ID number on the side of the hull, I think it reads D16. The front armour is also fixed plate like the others I have, and also like the scout carriers shipped here during the war. I thought the UK stopped production of carriers in 41 ? and transferred production to Canada (Ford) ??

  5. TL3885 is the part number. Was hoping to identify the carrier TL number. Im guessing its British part not Canadian ? I do have the hull but not sure where to look for this particular number to ID it :blush:. Was told it may be a scout carrier.

     

     

    Much help appreciated. :-D
