Silvain,

I have no idea; I checked the pictures of the FAT I measured and it doesn't have the bracket fitted (currently). My pictures are not clear enough to see if there are any holes or any other remains of the bracket ever being fitted.

here is a bit better picture of the bracket. I have it both my ones.
it is about 6.5"x 6" I have tried to place a one gallon can in it, and the can was very loose in it.

We have that stowage bracket on the Cab 12 CGT here in the Shilo museum. I'll try some of the various artillery related cases like the scope or predictor cases. It will most likely be something on the checklist for the 25 pdr.

Default Check the seat cover....

It seems to be laced together which is different than anything else I have seen.

Might imply that there was a fabric cover on the bottom section on early models.

Comments??

Thank you all for your aswers,

I am curious to find out what is the use of this bracket, I am just making plans of the floor of my fat , and I am asking myself If ad this bracket or not?
As Neels said the oil can is possible (there is no other bracket for it?)
I think something that the co pilot needs, but what?

Best regards
Sylvain
