Default Blanking Board Holder

I took this off my Carrier for others to copy This goes to the left of the gunners left foot and is bolted to the side plate

Me thinks that is not for the blanking board, but for the gunners cleaning rod. If it is true, then how would the blanking board be held by it? Thanks for posting it George. One way or another we're learning.
Btw. your link comes up as invalid.

These pictures relate to a proper Bren ( not a universal) I think the MI, MkI*, and MkII, all had these fittings. The location of the blanking board is shown in the other picture. I dont know if the U.C's went this way.

My drivers handbook shows the board as being stowed behind the front gunners seat back. I put mine there and it fits just fine. Not sure where it would go on a MK2 carrier as the seat is different.

I thought we already went over this in another threat but I couldn't find it doing a quick search.
