Hope you've booked the trailer to pick her up, and packed the machette.

Here goes all the hours of work again.

Well Done Mate.

Jeff
The tool box over the left track is stock and is one of the holy grails of the mk1 carriers. You will usually see photos of it re-mounted onto the front of the carrier so as to make more room for passengers within the protection of the armour.
The real mystery of this box is what was inside and mounted onto the top of it. There are brackets for what looks like the track jack on top of the lid, and there is a small clip inside the lid which seems to hold about a 1/4" rod of some kind. There is also the little semi-circular holder on the inside corner; looks almost like an oil can could fit. On one of these I previously owned there was remnants of a canvas divider inside; again purpose unknown. The stowage diagram says the locker only contained the crews packs.

This could be the topic of a seperate thread. Does anyone have any referancematerial as to the stowage within the locker?

Nice find

Im rather surprised it still has all the front armour on it and yet the sides have been cut off. Usually its the other way.

Ive seen a few of the crew stowage lockers around but nothing in really great shape.

Hi Brad:

You are blessed! A new toy will speed up the current project!

Are you likely to make it up to Ontario this summer?

Cheers! Mike

Hi Brad,
Any more news on that find in Novia Scotia earlier this year, am looking forward to seeing it out of the bush and on its way to being restored,
