Re: Fowler resto tas
Hi there. I am George. Nigel son (Tassie fowler)
The Fowler has been hold for a while, but things will pick up soon. I have a few more things done.
The springs were fairly rusty, and broken. so made a couple up with parts of the other machine.

Welded on new side lugs and replaced bolts and sleeve.

I have made up a whole new dash panel, new gauges, push button start and even found one of the plates that were originally on it.

And the new ITR chains have arrived. the grouser plate holes are 3/4 but our plates are 5/8, I have decided I will make bushes out of 3/4 stainless tube.
