Photos from visit
My trip to visit Phillip allowed me to learn a bit about the Scout.
The first pic shows that this Scout (possibly all of them) had no ice scrapers.
The second shows what the pedals were like in Scouts (and real Bren) carriers before universals. Much like Aust pattern carriers.
The third pic. shows the Scout front gunners apeture, different to anything else, in that it is narrow like the Brens, but the holes are placed for the Boyes rifle mount. Phillip is looking for one if anyone can help.
The forth pic. shows where the right rear folding plate should be. Note the curved air ducting common to the pre universal carriers, and the holes to the battery box, noting that the top of the rear hull is lower than a universal, and the battery box would meet the top of the engine covers. Bren and Scout carriers have a dog leg in the top of the engine cover.
The last picture shows the "Arens" fuel change over valve particular to the Scout. (I dont know if the Brens had these?)
