hi, thanks for the info, i will put mk2 brackets on for now, but if anyone has got a good picture and sizes of an original mk1 spade axe handle retainer bracket, please post the details.
I have tried reading the part numbers on your picture but there a little blurred. maybe you could e-mail it in bigger font to
kevinpowles@btinternet.com.
thanks for your time lynn, i nearly bought a british mortar carrier from new zealand a couple of years back, i wonder what happened to it.
kev.
