sharky Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Happy xmas everybody having got the usual festivities and gluttonous eating and drinking done i have finally got round to updating this threrad . We put the sherman build on hold at the end of october so we could concentrate on getting the working vehicles we use for the customers thru the workshop 15 FV432's serviced repainted ,ferret ,2 x bedfords and a hagglund bv206 all sorted in record time ,we managed to get some more work on the sherman in december . The suspension is in reasonable order, bearings were good but springs, seals and anything rubber was in a bad way nitro hard at it with the needle gun the state of the bearings and internal sleaves after 30 yrs on a molotov cocktail range now for a bit of paint New old stock springs fitted at this stage n.o.s tyres pressed on bit of a game with that the company we used made a hash of the job on the first one but got it sorted on the rest . also new seal sorced from a firm in leicester bearings cleaned and everything refittedto wheels . thanks for looking only another 5 to go .
