Robert,
Are there no holes on the POW carrier towards the handle end of the shovel, which could take a couple of small bolts to secure a piece of webbing ? The reason I suggest this is that on my LAAT in the top NS locker there is a welded bracket to take the blade end and a 1" webbing strap, about 3" down from the top of the handle, which secures the shovel in place.
Hope this helps
Regards
Keith

Default Will check Sunday....

Hi Keith: I'm going out to the airport hanger where I have the truck stored and will check in on the "holes". I've got lots of straps and footman loops to attach the units.

I'm just taking a breather from picking up the the new brake parts. New cylinders, brake drums turned and new relined shoes, which are re arched to fit the drums......$1100.00 CDN. AND BUGGER, are those rear drums heavy! Just getting over my 3rd hernia operation.

So I'll drop you a line over the next day or so and let you know.

The truck was used by a fire dept after the war to haul equipment, so hopefully they didn't cover them up.

Keep you posted.....Robert
