Derk’s new Universal carrier Mk 1*

[derk derin]

I was at an old department store in downtown Winnipeg last week where they used to handle some military surplus back in the day. I like to stop in once in awhile for certain items. This time we’re the Bren Auxiliary shoulder straps. They have boxes of them and I realized they’re the proper width to make up the straps for the 19 set hold down straps. I can cut and sew them together to make the length I need as it’s impossible to find the proper material to make these straps up.
While I was there I spotted a pile of green material that looked exactly like the material on Carrier seats. They’re British military bedding stowage bags (whatever they’re used for?) and they were $5.00 each.
