Great Mk1* restored vehicle pictures

[Jordan Baker]

Came across this link on another site. Some very detailed shots of a rather complete looking Mk1* Universal Carrier.

Of note. There is a shot for the complete internals of the smoke generator bin. It all makes sense now.

Link does not work. Any chance you can "borrow" some of the photos into this thread? (giving credit to the owner of course).

Jordan, a couple of things on the smoke generator bin. First, I assume this carrier is missing half the upper wood filler and it's not meant to have only half round holes at the top? Second, what do you make of the angle iron bracket under the bin that raises it up so high? Have you ever seen that before and do you think it's correct? (I've never seen anything like it before).

Bruce. Thanks for posting a different link. Not sure why mine didn't work

As for the bin. No I disagree. The two original bins I've seen only had small wood screw holes on the hinge side of the bin. To me this suggests that the upper level was only a half and on the one side. It makes sense also as it would be easier to lift out the rounds by grabbing the side.

Hopefully my explanation makes some sense.

Sorry Rob, I'm not able to post pictures as my Internet is via my iPhone. No home service.

Nice to see the ME stowage racks as that's what will be going on mine... Spudded tracks too, how very Italy ! not sure they did that to be accurate or just due to shortage of track however its a 43 carrier in a right colour for that theatre of ops :-) to my knowledge first operational use of the spudded track was Nov 43 during Op Avalanche..... Will no doubt be corrected though . Thanks for posting them up Jordan
