As the BREN weighs 23.1lbs, or 10.5kgs, I don't think the counterweight would be anywhere near capable of counterbalancing the weight. I presume this is the stowed position of the Gallows, and that you would use the clamps on the side to raise the frame and secure it in place at an appropriate height above the gunner's hatch. I wonder if any of the clamps also lock the cable into place at a comfortable height for the gun?
PS Please add my congrats to Noel on such a nice truck!
