gunners plate,
 
Does anyone have the measurments for the flat gunners plate fitted to the earlier carriers, I do not have one and may have to make one up if no one has one for sale out there?
Thanks

Did the mk.1 universal carrier have a cover over the gunners port??

Hi Jeff,
I have an early Australian U/C It should have a flat plat over the gun port for the Vickers, It was a different plate with a type of shroud owing to the fact that the top mounted magazine on the Bren could not fit into the port with the flat plate,

I was mistaken i thought the plate was to cover the prt that the bren stuck out of.
I do have the other rounded one.
