You're going well Rich. Can you explain the seat back mount? I would have called it MkII*, but your drivers front plate is MkI* I know MkI*s were converted, but as yours came from Canada recently, did they (the Canadians) also convert MkI*s to MkII*s? (as Britian did)
Can I suggest a (wiring friendly)radius inside your brass conduit bezels? You have about 6 weeks. No pressure of course!

Euan is correct. Your clutch rod from pedal to pivot bracket is in backwards.

A simple error to make as the parts manual illustration pictures it installed the way Richie has it.

Yeah, Lynn, the seat back bottom rail has not been out the machine, but looks to be a later fitting... I will check the brackets etc for part numbers, but basically by turning the handle at the end it tilts the base of the seat back and forward, I wondered if it had been a post war thing jerry's rigged, but there are remains of the gunners seat too.
The carrier is 1942 dated, and I am unsure as to when the mods from Mk1 to Mk2 began to filter through.

I'm waiting for Michael R. to explain that later production MkI*s were fitted with the MkII* seat back hardware.
It's probably not the case, that all the changes/ improvements were introduced at the same time. I would guess the introduction of the MkII* was more a collection of re-design features hitting the production line at one time, justifying the re designation to reduce the confusion in the parts supply and r&m instructions.
