    Slantback b pillar alternative

    Don't let all the negative crap stop you, if you want a slantback then build one, I did and I love it. Yes in driving rain it leaks but I am not made of sugar so I don't melt...same as you I did not have all the parts I needed so I built what I didn't have. Then when parts became available I...

    What tracked armor options do I have these day?

    Very few M113's in private hands, if they were US military the State Dept keeps tabs on them, look at all those ones in Australia they were going to auction until Uncle Sam stepped in and they were all chopped up...FV432 way cheaper and way fewer headaches with red tape unless you can find one...

    Question about torsion bars

    And I did not say that M113 torsion bars are interchangeable WITH M548 bars...just that M113 bars do not have to return to a specific position on the M113, save for right and left as you have pointed out, on ours they went back in in no specific order on each side and they have worked fine ever...

    Question about torsion bars

    Sorry Doug, was not even thinking right to left swapping, yes absolutely correct on that count! But as for where they go in order on each side, they can go anywhere agreed? John
