OOOOOh you got the bren spare barrel case that sits on top of the engine cover on the Mk1's i would love to copy that ! the other tin looks like the Ws19 spare parts box sits on the track guard behind the driver the bren ammo box sits next to it.


Very Very good haul there matey well done...


Kev also i got your email i am working on the Gruppen Fuhrer to release me from Colditz over those dates i could hop on a train with yer wheels and perhaps meet you at Norwich...if not it will be a trip all the way to Kent for me.


EDIT:-

Also back to the thread title if i was a guessing man i would say those hooks (if carrier) mount low in the hull..... my theory is based on the rubber gaskets which could be seals...or perhaps to reduce vibration.

If those things are carrier bits, they are bound to have part numbers on them.

Default Speedo cable

Hi Kevin,

Could you please measure the total length of the speedo cable conduit or outer cable? I need to have one made. I remember that one member was going to have one made. This was discussed in another thread a while back but I do not remember who it was. I expressed my interest at the time but I do not think anything came of it as I have never heard from him again.

Brian Ashbury has an inner core cable in stock should you need that. I will have a complete new cable made so do not need it.

See you all in Beltring!

Cheers from Allhallows (on holiday there till the 16th, going home then and returning for Beltring with a military truck the 18th. Oh, life is hard.... )

Default spare barrel box

Richard,
I have new spare barrel boxes in stock. Exact like the original, so you don't need to copy it.
