Got another part underway. Its the bracket for holding the muzzle of the Boys Anti-Tank rifle. The red is all new made while the rubber parts are original.

My problem is that we couldn't find the correct diameter tubing to match the rubber even thought it matched the tubing on a second orginal bracket I had.

Notice the part number/date cast into the side of the bottom rubber.

As for making the rubber parts I may just make a core and cast the rubber directly into the metal bracket. The only down side is that it won't be removable like the original.
