Default hifter housing ?

Here's a question for the brains trust. Did the very early carriers have the shifter housing. My Mk1 seems never to have been fitted with one, much in the style of the Australian Local Pattern Carriers...

Cheers

Phill

I dont know the answer, but I suspect it had the short straight gear lever, with no reverse lock out, on the lever. See the gear lever on the extreme right of the picture below


It won't let me post the picture. I try again later

"what was bolted on rear armour" if its the drivers side rear it was a bren gun "AA" pintle mount, one was there one on the side and one on the division plate above drivers head and in some cases another on the engine top cover (gunners side) this is not concrete but on many i have seen this is where they tend to get placed.

imagine you had not come on here and cut her up buddy...... you can see why i get so passionate about making new armour for the chopped up ones rather than creating more "tubs" speak with Doug Lavoie regarding your other hull he may do a bit wheeling and dealing with regards to access to schematics

When I climed all of over this carrier a few years ago it still had some of the bren AA mounts.

The correct # is 4 for this carrier plus the pogo stick.

You appear to have too many of those mounts. You should let me take a couple off your hands.

Are some of those the repros that were available a few years back?

Those were the 4 mounts I had cast at a foundry in Toronto. I wish I had the money at the time to have made a mould and done up a large run.

Takes money to make money. This is one of those items that would be a steady seller. Same goes for the smoke discharger bracket.
