Thanks for the lead Maurice!
I recently saw a picture of a Mk1 with the towing hitch. I think it wa here on MLU but have to search again. ( i will in a bit)

It had the Battery Box of the Mk1 along with the extra POW racks called the "Desert Stowage" that my carrier (and Bruce Parker's) has.

I am missing all the tool stowage on that back plate, so thought to make up the towing and place it along with the tool holders.

It looks like a welded Hitch support "horns" may be the most correct way to go.

Now... does anyone have a carrier with this type of towing support? If so, Can I offer you somethign to take some pics? Measurements would be nice, but since it probably came to the Canadian Stacey hitch, I can probably use those measurements.

Ive seen wartime pics of mk 1 3" mortar carriers with Stacy towing attachments.

Has anyone noticed that a carrier has an exta riveted plate on the clamping towing leaf Spring ?, it's unique to carrier and not seen on truck towing attachments.

All is revealed here : http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...=Stacey+towing

Another thing is that if you look at wartime pictures from Mk1 Carriers with stacey towing arrangements , that the tow hook has flat ends on the handles , compared to the round ones on CMP`s
