Buy a repro for working on the gun and keep your eyes open for an original. They don't come up often so could take a while.

Cheers,

Marc, that's a whopping price for one........eeeeekkk!!!

Marc, I like your signature list of vehicles you own 😉, I might put my 1965 Aston Martin DB5 on mine and 1970 mark 1 Triumph Stag......many thanks for the pictures and info when I needed them mate, 😘

Looking at the gun pintle mount, I think at some stage during it's life since 1943 the guns saddle pintle had been removed before, as there is a other set of locking screw holes been drilled, perhaps when the guns left the Netherlands to the Israel army ?. It's most certainly been stripped before.

Kevin, yes its much more fun to have the original manuals.
I normally also try to find the original manuals, and then copy them so I can bring it to the work shop.
we need pictures of the Aston Martin...
