Boys Mounts for MKII
 
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone have detailed photos they can share for the Boys gun mounts for a MKII like shown below? I'm having little luck searching for any on the forum. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Stephen

With that image you are off to an interesting start. That is not a standard MK-II*. Look closely and notice the construction of the mantlet plate, which is fixed vs swinging and the welded construction on the upper front protection plates. Also note the nipple for a canvas cover. With the Canadian headlamp and lack of riveted upper protection plates it could be one of the elusive Ford Canada produced welded hull MK-III*'s.

Stephen, not to derail your request on the first post. Just an observation. I will look for some images. Do you have the images that show the Boys in the stowed position on the engine cover?

Boys mount MKII second look
 
Well played, I see what you mean Michael R. There must be something different for the MKII with the higher seat position of the MKII gunners seat. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen
