Need part identification

Dave Schindel · #1 16-03-13, 17:19

Hi guys, I have a part that I don't recognize. It is #CTL 14304 , 1944 vintage.I think it may be a seat bracket? Any help on where it is located on the MKII carrier would be appreciated.http://s352.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps87afad35.jpg

Thanks for any help,Dave

I may have messed up with photobucket.I loaded a pic of the bracket sitting on a chair.Hope this works!

you missed the IMG tags on your link...here it is:

I believe I have one of these kicking around the shed as well.....for some reason I think it has to do with the little fold down seat in the back but I can't be sure.

For the life of me, I can't remember what the bracket is for? But it fits on the bulkhead behind the drivers seat. Ron

Thanks,Rob, for fixing that for me.
I vaguely recall taking it off my carrier when sandblasting.Thanks for the pic Ron.I wonder what it is for as well,I don't see it in any illustrations or parts lists.

I have found it in my Chilwell list as TL14304 Bracket Harness Right.

Ron,any idea what kind of a "harness" it would be for?

Ron Pier · #7 17-03-13, 09:05

Not yet, but I might know a man who does? Ron

Here is the plate from my Chilwell list. it calls numbers 11/12/13/14/16/17/18/19 "Harness Bracket" Ron

Mk2 carriers were later fitted with a seatbelt harness.... There was a square hole in the back of the drivers seat rest where the webbing straps came through

Ron Pier · #10 17-03-13, 14:04

AH! That's what the hole is for. Cheers Richard. Ron

Hello Dave

I think it was a Sutton Harness that was fitted which is the same as those used in fighter aircraft.

Thanks Stephen

Ron Pier · #12 17-03-13, 16:03

That would make a nice addition to have in my carrier......I don't think I'd want to wear it though. Ron

Dave Schindel · #13 17-03-13, 19:38

Very interesting. Thanks for all the info!
By the way, can someone educate me on the Chilwell info? I've never seen it before.
Thanks,Dave

Hi, I can send you a copy of the manaul on CD, just pm me your address and some to cover postage to Canada.

I have a couple of those brackets if you need any.

Kevin.

Dave Schindel · #15 19-03-13, 00:56

Kevin, are you talking about the chilwell manual?

kevin powles · #16 19-03-13, 01:05

yes, thats the one.

kevin.

I have had a copy from Kevin and can vouch they are very good indeed and in my humble opinion a must for the would be carrier owner :-)

Dave Schindel · #18 23-03-13, 00:38

Thanks,Kevin.I'll keep you in mind for later.
