Are they the larger ammunition bins, TL 13065? Your estimate of 8x10 inch suggests they are. John, what is the part number punched into the side? The retaining clips are missing from the engine facing side. The clips held the spares wallet for the BREN. See Jordan B., who recently installed one. There should be a packing board between the bin and the mudguard. That will explain the rather longish 1/4 inch flat head countersunk retaining screws. The images from Steve Tegner in J'burg, RSA show the spacer in place on the museum MK-I*.

If it is the (much) smaller bin, as Richie and Lynn say to hold the radio spare tubes box, it should also have the clips on the front to hold the radio spares fuze box. A search of the assembly number in the parts manual will reveal the bin number. I will post an image or two. Bruce P likely has images of both with the spares cases in place.

See: ( 24 Oct 2021, link invalid)

Mr. Steve Tegner of the Ditsong Museum in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa posted a link with over two hundred and sixty excellent images of an April, 1943 MK-I* built for British Contract SM-1046.

Hello,

Thanks for all your help. Micheal i think you have the correct one with the ammo box behind the driver there is the remains of the clips on the box. The exact measurements of the box is 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 11".





Would someone be good enough to do me a drawing of the clips that should be on the box?

Thanks

John

Default Whilst I'm on a roll.............

Ok here's a couple more. See if i can get lucky with these. The first ones i was told are petrol tank caps, i've not looked closely for part numbers yet, but looking in the parts book i can't see anything similar.



I bought this thinking it might be the box you sometimes see on the front of a carrier?



I'm pretty sure these are not off a carrier, can anyone recognise them?

Hello John,

Excellent thread, but could you please attach the pictures to your posting instead of using a link to an externally hosted picture?
I'm asking as history tells us that those externally linked pictures disappear one day, and then a useful thread like this becomes useless.

Thanks in advance!

The big bog is an anmmo box for O(two?) 3.7" shells. Many Loyds had them on the front. they are fairly common. The others are new to me.

Ross,

Nice photos for sure. Had a chuckle over the winter track fitted in South Africa of all places.

Cheers,
