Information Required

[Torro]

Hi

Anyone that can help with documentation, manuals, for the Valentine tank, or that can point me in the right direction of where material can be obtained

 

Thanks

[John Pearson]

When the virus is over, the Bovington Tank Museum Archives have full documentation and can supply photocopies. What are you looking for specifically?

[Torro]

Hi John

I am the scaling of the Tyred wheel  assemblies and need more info on specifically the suspension assembly

[John Pearson]

I think I have tracked down the info you need. I will (try) post later.

[John Pearson]

Here goes! Imperial (feet, inches) of course.

[Torro]

Hello John

 

Thank, this will help a lot. Imperial sizes not a problem

 

Regards

[D Andrews]

Thanks

£120 for the V 2

£200 for the v3 because of the extra paperwork with it.see pics

£300 for the pair

I am pleased I bought my copies years ago - as I recall I paid exactly 1/20 of current values, £10 or £15 each. (Did you realise that at least some of the extra papers with the Mk  III book relate to the 17pdr SP, the Archer?)

You don't have either a Mk IV  or a mk VI/VII Valentine parts list do you? These are the only ones I am short of for the full set.

No sorry we don’t and if I’m honest we had someone buy a few books from us that put the bits we have together. We don’t know much about any of the books we have and this is why I joined here as I knew people would know about them

Hi

£300 is a bit steep for me, with our exchange rate I have to  multiply by 21 making this deal very expensive.

Are there a change that you will sell me some copies that you can mail to me, even if it is photos.

This will make it much cheaper for me. I only want the diagrams and not the writing

I have borrowed the valentine III from my father in law. What images do you need

[Torro]

Hi

Thank for coming back, I am currently at the suspension and tired wheels. Any image that shows detail or dimensions are welcome

 

Thanks

[D Andrews]

Not sure if this is what you are after

i have included pics of the index

[Torro]

Wow, this is great.

Thanks for the info, especially the diagram of the bogie wheel assembly, this clears a lot of mud.

I am very interested in section 13, Tracks, sprockets, suspension.

Thanks again for this very helpful information and your efforts

Regards

[D Andrews]

Here is the text for section 13

 

few extra bits that might help.

 

i don’t know what I’m looking at so just guessing.
