586/1 Frame, ammo box, Lewis
586/2 Bracket, spare mag, Lewis, assy
comprises:
586/2A Bracket
586/2B Block, hardwood, 8 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1 3/8 (2 off)
586/3 Riser, bracket

No mention of the mudguard Bob, but that is the horizontal piece of the hull above the tracks. They call the front guards the "front splasher"

I found that a wooden SAA crate fits the bracket nicely too.
I haven't tried a Lewis mag box - only just realised what they are!

Thanks Rob - I should have remembered Splashers but the usage of Mudguard as a part and where they are is something new for me. Looking at the images the riser is in the position you described.

Is Pam 7B a 1942 issue? I thought it was contemperaneous with Pam 7A being 1941.

My 7 is June 1941, and 7A is Dec 41 but the 7B is Jan 1942, so pretty close in time, really.

On page 108 the hull parts are listed as mudguards, 679/3A, 4, 5 and 5A.

Sorry for the slack reply, I have had the devil of a job getting onto the Forum, just managed to get in by the back door this time, I knew that you would come up trumps, thanks mate,
