Jordan, I have been looking for your thread on the rear seat construction, is it a seperate thread, if so the title please, also as your carrier started out as a Tank Hunter did you note any differences on the rear seat angle iron supports compared to a standard stowage carrier, I believe there were removal steel plates over the petrol tanks on this model which rested on the same supports. The parts book also gives listing for different components for this set up, I have included a picture of this seating arrangement, note the bren magazine boxs stowed behind the seat cushions. Any info you have will be appreciated.

Cheers Kevin

Thanks for the compliments.

Some more stuff I have been working on. Using copies of original parts drawings for the upper engine covers I decided to make two new ones for the left side. The original I have is heavily pitted and the other was a loaner item from another MLU'er.

All the edges were hand filed down to get rid of the razor sharpness from the shear. One interesting observation is that the part number is stamped along the same center line used for the bottom of the slots.

Kevin, no idea on the thread title. I fear that it was four letter words and are now unable to search for it. As for the other question I remember giving you that info in the past. Just can't remember what that info was.

Default Bin.

Jordan, when you have time, no hurry could you put up a drawing for that, looks like a nice water trap.

Water trap, Yes especially when it's lined with felt.
Nice job Jordan.
It doesn't show in that old thread that you revived, but did you get the details for that Bren butt mount in the front floor centre. I thought I had posted details on that?
