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.

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'.

Many thanks again.
