Default gunners grenade box

I can confirm after stripping out an original drivers Mk1 stowage bin and detaching a rusted out drivers grenade box, there is no wood packing between the bin and the box, also the four fixing bolts, the top two bolt heads go in from the grenade box side and the bottom fixing bolt heads go in from the ammo bin side.

Default early carrier

Shaun, My misses has the camera, my brother has took alot of pics of some interesting areas yesterday and today, I have the pick up truck loaded with all the mortar carriers suspension and parts off the new one including your trailing arms to get them blasted. will take them over tomorrow. I need to get it stripped and in zinc primer to preserve it as soon as possible. I will get the mortar carrier running before rebuilding this one. On monday I finished the missing conduit on the Tank hunter, rewired the main starting cables and put on a new starter motor and changed out the drivers side fuel tank and put in the rear convoy bracket and light. I will start stripping the new carrier out tomorrow, every nut will need grinding off, I have alot of missing bits on order from Brian and Stuff ordered from John at Midwest.

Kev.
