Fire Extinguisher Mounts

[super dave]

IS there no one out there that has a MK1 carrier with fire extinguishers mounted up front ??????? I have made a simple drawing of it and if someone could PLEASE see if they have an original bracket that they can get me the measurements to especially the gunner side:

A
B
C
D
E
F

Also I have seen a couple pictures with the reverse bend at the top and some at the bottom, Which end is up ??

Dave, I have a CTL13276 bracket, which is the same both ends.
Let me know if you need info.

Here are some photos of two of the similar brackets. One has the extinguisher mount quite low, and one has it high. The screw holes in the back are different and match the brackets.

I have not taken these apart yet for sandblasting, but the high mounted one fits fine in the gunners position. Only problem is on the 2VP carrier I am working on, it is a mix of mk1 armour on a mk2 hull. I have to drill the hole through the angle iron yet for the bracket. Luckily it is through the armour (since the armour is mk1).

Thanks for the pictures Rob, Interesting on the differences in the 6 mounting holes between the two Extinguishers and the mounting brackets.




So where does the mounting bracket come into place that I drew the picture of as I have seen pictures of them in other carriers, Later model ????

dave, to the best of my knowledge that bracket has been on my carrier in that position since 1941, the bracket you have is wrong for the gunners side

Thanks for the offer Lynn, But I have that bracket as you see in the above pictures. It was the gunners bracket I was needing but was not sure what it looked like.
