The P.I.A.T. engine deck housing clips are an assembly part number, TL1031SA, rear, and TL1026SA, front.
Their full sub-assembly parts description and number(s) to be found in the stowage section of the March, 1945 first edition of the Chilwell Catalogue No. 63/76, Illustrated Parts List for Universal Carriers.

On the experimental P.I.A.T. housing clips at Ford Canada, a ‘stop-block’ was fixed on the engine deck, centered on the trigger guard. When the P. I. A. T. was stowed, the block prevented clockwise rotation of the projector. At least one of the images show the projector housed with the monopod attached, but oriented 180' from the firing position.

There are factory images of the C31UCW MK-II* carrier, as well as the W.C. N0. 4 MK-I* universal carrier ("Windsor") stowage using the similar flat, wide rear mount to stow a Boys A.T.R., with an alternate barrel clip. The T16 has a similar set of two Boys A.T.R. housing clips, the barrel clip is attached to the edge of the wireless radio antenna base that straddles the radiator cover and firing rest of the divisional wall.

OK Chaps. Still searching, but so far I've found an image showing #12&13 front and rear PIAT housing clips. Not sure what PIAT housing means?

And a drawing of a PIAT mounted right side up in a T16, which looks to me as though the monopod is removed? Ron

PS, again I don't know why these scans don't appear as a full image??

Sideways . If you turn the Piat sideways it’s a perfect fit .

That looks more feasible. Although I still can't see how the brackets in this drawing can stow a PIAT? Maybe I need to look closer at my PIAT in case I'm missing something. Ron

And still I can't get these scans to download as a picture? ......Michael R please!!
