Toole's Disposals had a couple of pallets of Bren Mag chests, but many were repainted for the L2A1 AR or L4A4 7.62 Bren mags. I picked up a couple of NOS Bren ones out of the stack, but there's plenty more there to sort through.

Just goes to show how desperate we were to build something like that

The Japs would have laughed

Default Well done

Hello Darren, a good save that one, we (Nungarin Army Museum) tried to acquire that one several times but could not pin the owner down. We have the cut down hulls of several Mk1 and Mk2 Rovers in our collection. I can photograph a rear floor panel for you if you wish.

If it was the same vehicle it transited here while we loaded some other trade good onto the same semi- trailer. We were greatly impressed with how authentic and untouched your Rover is...

Cheers and good luck with the restoration.

Phill

Darren,
About 10 years ago I picked up a Rover Bonnet and gave it to Colin Anderson in Sheparton Vic. for his. His Rover had a repro bonnet, so I don't know if he ever used it or not. I don't remember the bonnet being as thick as 3/8 plate. more like 3/16 as it wasn't all that heavy. Colins Rover went to Adelaide with his Dingo. Now with further owners.
Regards rick.
