Lynn, I admit to knowing nothing about carriers. I owned a British hull with a lot of spare parts for 6 months in the nineties, but made a decision to concentrate on trucks and so sold the carrier to someone in New South Wales. I admire the dedication of people that restore armour.
I measured the hole spacings in the base. I measured both types of bracket and both are exactly the same.
Hole spacing centre to centre lengthwise is 6 3/4" centre to centre width is 5 1/4"
The bolt holes are 3/8" and the head size is quite large 3/4" across the head flat to flat, so possibly Whitworth.
They would have been bolts and nuts as the imprint of the bolt head is very clear on the top of the base and so it wasn't turned to remove.
Hope this makes sense.
Ken
