Piat mount
Here are some pictures of a Piat mount for a UC.
Does anyone have dimensions or photos of it in situ? Dont know if this would have been used on a MkI* or MkII* Any info on its use/dates etc would also be appreciated.

Appears that you have a reproduction PIAT mounting set for a T-16. This is the paired mounting that goes in the "ready" position between the driver and gunner. The swivel portion bolts onto the right-hand side of the pulpit wall and the flat plate and U-Shaped holder go in front of the upper radiator area.
It can be identified as a reproduction based on two extra holes that were drilled in error when the person who had them made copied a part removed from a T-16 the Swiss had used after the war. They modified it so a rifle holder could bolt onto the plate which accounts for the extra holes. And so all the reproductions have them as well unless you weld them up. Two shots from back when I was still laying everything out on my T-16 prior to dipping the hull. You can see a note in one shot where I marked the two extra holes for filling. I have another two shots showing the PIAT mounted but the MLU file handler won't let me upload them for some reason right now. Guess I should post this now while I still have two shots working....
