Floor boards

[Michael R.]

Hopefully you have the MK-I* specific mounting brackets for the BREN tripod attached to your lower engine rails? While shown here, all four felt tabs are missing.

The floorboards are a local production item. When positioning the support blocks remember to allow clearance for the angle iron at the transition from floor to lower hull side. The height of the support blocks can be made to allow the top of the board to be level with the rear bogie “inboard” arm. A clearance cutout helps when removing the floor boards for cleaning.

Jordan B or Rob L may have some BREN tripod head floor box dimensions.

The double sided retainer for the weapons shoulder stock (butt holder) ... if you are making without a pattern . . . notice in the image how the right side is larger to accommodate the BREN shoulder stock. In particular the MK-I/MK-I* BREN butt plate is much wider than the butt of an SMLE or NO. 4 MKI/MKI* rifle. You will see that greater width corresponds to the upper bracket.
