Hi Peter,

Blanking board
New UC No2 Mk2 owner here.
What is a blanking board please ? Sorry for the stupid question. Robert |
That is a rectangular piece of 1/4 inch plywood that covers the radiator opening between the driver and gunner. The washer shown is riveted onto the ply, and a knurled thumbscrew holds it to the opening.
I have found the identical dished washer (less the 3 rivet holes) used on crates even today, so they still exist somewhere. |

The blanking board is a 1/4" piece of plywood that goes between the
driver and gunner to cover the hole where you can see the rad. The little metal, piece goes in the centre and a special bolt secures it to the plate. Peter |

Thanks for your replies friends.
I guess it was only used in winter like the canvas rad cover of the CMP'S ? Cheers. Robert |
Not restricted to cold weather use. It assists to decrese the time = fuel required to reach operating temps.
