Crank handle clip

[m606paz]

The label in Box and size.... too big for crank handle?

It is a carrier clip based on the CTL part number. Unfortunately my carrier parts manual is at work and I don't relate to cm very well. My guess is it is for stowage of the AA stem (pogo stick) on top of the engine cover, but someone with the manual will be able to correct me in short order.

Without looking, it is one of the clips for the Jacking bar (small end?) in the Universal Carrier ( of various marks and models) I too would buy some of them.

CTL3869 is listed as "Clip -, jacking bar small" in the Housing Stores section of the Mk 1* parts list.
It is also listed as "Clip and all attaching hardware" in the section on parts to be deleted from the standard carrier for conversion to a tank hunting carrier.

I've found one of the hardest thing to replicate for restorations is spring clips like this. Originals are great but if they've been left outside they probably don't have much spring left in them. New spring steel is available but bending it into shape often results in breakage at sharp angles. I've had some success with strapping bands which are usually easy to get.

Mariano, you first image shows the jacking bar in a Mortar carrier. This appears to only use one clip. In other carriers there is a clip holding the small end. That is where your clip is used.
