blanking board
Hi, I have just made a blanking board from an original and was wondering about its storage location when not in use.
I understand the board is fixed to the forward stud of the gunners left side grab handle. Can anyone confirm that it would of been held in position by the same nurled nut as used on the engine covers 3/8" bsf? or a different type of nut?. I recently dropped onto a copy of some hand written training notes regarding carriers, it specifys the carrier running temperature and use of the blanking board, i will dig out the details and post them here. thanks kevin.

From my understanding it was stored behind the gunners seat up front. As for the nut that holds it on ive got a picture for you.

on my mk 1 i have a slot on the side of the hull where the gunners legs go (similar to the tin rail it sits on when its in the bulkhead) i always thought this was where the board went.

That little clip is for a big cleaning rod. Up inside the nose of the carrier there should be another bracket that is a tube. The end of the cleaing rod goes into that.
