This should answer your question
Hi Phil,
I have watched with interest as the restoration continues and enjoy your pics.
I spent some time this afternoon and photographed my fixtures to show you how it is all set up.
I still do not know what the 2 threaded blocks on the left inside of hull are for...maybe you do?
In the Vickers tripod mounting brackets I store the cleaning rod for the mortar, there is no fixed bracket or position for it, I just figured after reading the 3" Mortar pamphlet that that was the most logical spot for the crew to place it and I also doubt that they would have ground mounted the Vickers MG as mortars usually fire from the rear.
Can we see a pic of your left cover?
Regards
