Mk1 carrier Ammo bins.
 

Help !!!. The Mk1 gunner and driver Ammo bins, anyone got drawings or patterns for these?, any for sale any place?, any condition.

Possible!
 

Hi Kevin
I may have some dimensioned drawings of these. Will look them out. Please keep reminding me though!!! I do have an original bin that goes on the angled tray in the rear compartment behind the driver I could measure for you.

I have had a Mk1 carrier drivers ammo bin made from information, drawings and pictures given to me through members of this site.

A big thanks to everbody who offered info from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. :note:

We made the bin as exact as possible, we opted for the intergral lid hinge as this was a little more challanging than the spot welded seperate hinge.

The box sits on a seperate 1/4" thick plate a little smaller than the footprint of the box.

We are making the gunners ammo bin over the next couple of weeks, now we have a drawing from Pruce Parker which can only be described as a 'work of art'. :cheers:

Many thanks again. :salute:

excelent work Kevin, cant wait to see them both finished :)
