There are very few examples of the British style double hook lower seatback brackets on MK-I* hulls made for CD contracts. The image is from one such example. The lever style (104806 & 105807) bar is more common on the later MK-I*. It is always found on the CD2609 contract MK-II* driver only. Could a update have been done during service life to the early MK-I*? I am sure, particularly with the later production, pre-seat belt backrest frame being issued, as pictured in the attachment from FUC-03. The FUC-03 drawing can be misleading, it contains other anomalies. Never and always?

As Per Michael R's comment on my carrier the hook imaged is used for the top mount however rather than being double slotted, it is single slotted (I would image them, but Shaun has them in suffolk for patterning hahahahaha.
as it happens i am after a pair of the top seat bars that bolt onto the wood

Seat back fittings
We have a Sentinel Wagon 3" mortar carrier (T 80068) and a Ford Mk I* (lower hull 4200c) which both had the double slotted clips at the bottom of the seat back.
It's looking good Richie, and I'm looking forward to seeing it running at W&P. Rob

Rob, have you ever seen that lever type on a Universal in N.Z.?
I don't think any of them came our way. Even the Canadian Mortars which were MkII* Correct?

With Rob's lower hull 4200 being a MK-I*, perhaps it was produced for an NZ contract, which called for the hook style bracket? That is four brackets per seat back, each with two cut-out positions.
The carrier is looking swell Richie. Web feet, cheesy grins, six toes... that will be quite a gathering. Last edited by Michael R.; 24-05-14 at 00:45.
