ianmaiden Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Can someone please explian the reason for the circles in the road wheel tyres Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 thanks tony i'll see if they are up for it . ian the holes in the tyres are about 3" deep and are there to improve cooling of the rubber as the tyres were seperating from the rims on high speed runs. the cromwell also suffered from this and eventually the final drive ratio was altered to reduce the maximum speed from 40 to 32 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost a year since the first reconnaissance to Denbies. I was there for a couple of hours watching but had to go back to work for a couple of hours, returning just before his departure. Now the hard work will begin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Good News, are you going to have a separate thread on the restoration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 thanks tony it was a little bit chilly even by northern standards but at least it didn't rain! tank is now safely in my yard in manchester after a 22 hour day and the resto starts tomorrow with a good clean. the plan is to have a good shufti at whats there and what isn't then put it into light preservation while i find the parts. but i'll start a new thread on it tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
