Default 1963 105mm L5

I have recently restored a 105mm L5 to add to my collection,when I aquired the gun it was only 70% complete so scourcing the missing parts was quite a task.
I am looking for an LBM , dial and elbow sight mounts,I do have the sights.
If anyone can help with these parts,at home or oversease I would be very grateful .
The gun was used by ' 7 para' during the Borneo campaign so I have returned it to its original livery.

Cheers ......................rnixartillery

If you can afford the prices Helston Gunsmiths advertise spares for these guns.

Any dealer with parts for equipment still in service will charge govermental prices.

I remember Alvis asking hundreds of pounds for a Saladin/Daimler Brake Adjusting Tool.

Shortly afterwards they closed down and they probably all went in the skip.
