Bren Gun Carrier question

[jknaus]

Okay I will ask this question here as some others might want to know. Saul, can the Vulcan Lite tank Mk VIb chassis be used in place of the Bren Gun Carrier chassis? It looks the same to me.

James, are you asking just about the chassis e.g hull or complete with suspension, wheels and tracks?

 

[jknaus]

suspension wheels tracks. Look the same to me.

They may be suitable, I really don't know as I 'got rid' of my Bren Carriers...

Both come out of the same stable and have similar dimensions. Both also use a Horstmann type suspension. But the Vicker IVb has a front sprocket with trailing road wheel while the Bren has a rear sprocket. Also the layout of the suspension differs. While on the IVb the springs are angled in the sane direction they are angled opposite direction on the Bren. I hope that helps. I don't know if the Lower hull was the same on both.
