Toolboxes - What are they off??

Over to you lads,

Note holders on the top for 2 gallon Tins. Uprights have been cut off but they were definitely there, once.

Looks like the lids have earth bonding straps. For radio or electrical equipment, maybe? :confused

Left side of a vehicle.
 
With 'Tare (over) T C Q L' on the side, these have come from the left side of a motor vehicle, if the regulations have been followed.

I seem to remember the left side of the CMP Sig Van has a box with provision for 2 gallon cans on top, but would need to find some images to confirm that.

Well remembered Mike, looks like you are quite correct. :salute: The photo in the below thread (post 1) seems to confirm this:

Owen.

Edit: looks from the locker photos that the units are handed; note position of the brackets. Would they have been on both left and right sides?

Aust Sig Van
 
Thanks for finding that thread, Owen, and yes, you are right: the two in the images are 'handed' so a pair or left & right side boxes, with the 'Tare TCQL' on the left side box. Note the 2 gal cans are mounted longways.

The bonding straps will be because it is a Sig van. The Aust sig van carried various 'loads' of different wireless set combinations, depending upon role.

Nice find!

Fantastic
 
Mike and Owen,

Thank you very much.

The knowledge provided by fellows like yourselves is truly remarkable.

As Mike said, Sigvan - they were a distinctive shape because of the rear mudguard line. And they're heavy - ask Euan who carried one across the Ballarat Swap meet one year!
