Gunner stowage box: hinge and hasp
Here is a UC NO-2 MKII* Carrier. In this unit, the gunner side floor mounted stowage box is fitted with a full length hinge on the edge toward the front of the Carrier. The hinge is similar to that found on the rations box fitted beneath the gunner's seat.
This stowage box is also fitted with a hasp at the front. The hasp has been there for some time, the latch is not present. B. Harris has the same set-up, as shown in his stencil thread images. Last edited by Michael R.; 31-01-13 at 06:56.

Michael,
Thanks for that, i have plenty of hinge so i will fit some. I have the little clasp exactly the same as yours , just no sign of a hinge ever having been fitted, no spot welds or rivet holes. another little question answered.

Just a quick question, can anyone confirm or deny that a padded cover was fitted to the lid, on top of or around the sloped end.
It was a sort of kneeling pad I think. George.

i may be proven wrong but if you put your full weight on that tin it would probably flatten it, i have never seen any pads on that box.. the Mk2 seating height was set so you could lean into the weapon and the Mk1 had the collapsing seat so i would have thought padding the box would be pointless (luss you would be too close to the front armour by this point to fire the weapon correctly)
again i will no doubt be proven incorrect. Cheers Richie

Reinforcing strap
The lid top has a reinforcing steel strap attached, similar to that which you would find on the rations box.
If you have a look at the Stencil thread by B. Harris you can see the lid hasp exists on his example as well. Last edited by Michael R.; 24-06-12 at 19:27.
