Pee Jay Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Now we've just about got the turret turning I'm having trouble find the right position in order to open the engine covers (they foul the turret). Turret is near the 9 o'clock position. Does anyone know what position the turret has to be in to open the engine covers? - I'm trying the refit the T support piece on the rear deck.

Hannover Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Some of the videos on the Mr Hewes YouTube channel may help. Particularly the later part of his latest video Chieftain Tank Rescue, Will It Run? P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Surely you have got a user handbook? If not, you will make many mistakes. I can look up in mine later if nobody else can help. You also really need the EMER / AESP for at least what are termed 'unit repairs'. John 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I do have paper copy of manual - had a trawl thru and couldnt find anything stating turret position. All we want to do is replace the T piece. Problem is that we have no power and the turret hand traverse is too stiff because turret seized - only way to shift it was help from REME wrecker towing the barrel round. Had a look at Mr Hewes vids and found one where he has turret roughly 3 o'clock for engine removal (Ive seen others at the 9 o'clock). Ours is a Mk11 and the turret is heavily loaded with baskets that cause a big overhang. One of the baskets on the RHS has been previously removed so I'm wondering if this was done when the T piece was removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
