Default C9/b

These Ford Bofors (Canadian and Australian) would seem to spring from the Morris Commercial C9/B, which was an initiative by Lord Nuffield, as he could see the need for A/A cover in convoys. The C9/B had a PTO driven generator to run the gun, and there was a specially adapted carburettor which IIRC was to combat flooding when the gun was firing. I wonder if the Fords suffered this problem as well?
