T34/85 tow hook

[John Wiggins]

Hi
hear are a few pics plus sizes of the tow hook on the 34/85.










There is only one hook fasten left, on the rear of tank, it is in poor condition. When ive sorted out the best pics and sized them I will attempt to upload them, but don't hold your breath, this internet connection is diabolical!

Does anyone know the condition of the T34 at Duxford? this my be worth a visit to get better photos.

Regards
John

John,

Excellent photos! With your measurements I can scale down the retention clip for the hooks from other available photos. I now feel comfortable sculpting these pieces! Thanks so much for the information,

Brown

I missed one measurement from the catch, so here is the updated pic.

This an example of the bolts on the rear transmission cover.
For some reason I did not write the height of the bolt into my note booK!

Various shots of the two T34/85's, at Bovington.



This one was in the workshop yard about to be pressure washed, so all the hatches were closed.
I was not allowed to climb the stairs, to take pics, (health and safety)! Fortunately one of the guys took my camera and captured the images of the turret.
