The Australian designed gun tractors No8 and No9 have provision to fit a bren gun up in the roof and a smaller machine gun on the driver's mate's wheel arch. Here's how the box for the butt was fitted. You'll also notice the 'glovebox' for ammunition. This pic is on the AWM's FGT No9.

Hi All
Here is a quick drawing of the wooden rifle cup on my `42 Pattern 13 Cab C60S ![]() Concerning the Carbine, always wondered if you reversed the upper holder down would it fit the Carbine. Cheers Phil

Great tech drawings Phil, thankyou. Also thanks for the photos prior. I have yet to catch our woodwork museum open, but will print a copy of these to take with me when I go next. I'm confident someone there will get involved and make a couple of these for me. Those fellows are mostly craftsmen from another age, when things were made to last!
Thanks to you too Keith, I have copied that photo of the MG butt holder & 'glovebox'. I wouldn't mind making one of those gloveboxes, actually ![]() Yesterday was quite unproductive. I got 90% of the side curtain frame jig completed, but stopped when I was about to make a silly mistake with welding something in wrong place. I figured it was time to put it away to continue fresh another day. I did clean-up some minor electrical bits, but nothing worth photographing. Rifle clip with JC 1.jpg Rifle clip with JC2.jpg The Jungle Carbine DOES fit in the clip, but it is sloppy fit. At least it is sloppy without the wooden block for it to sit in. I have not measured against the dimensions Phil posted, to see if it would sit down inside, but will do so when I get the chance.

Here's the 'funny story' I promised a week ago.
NOS taillights 1.jpg NOS taillights 2.jpg Remember those NOS Ford CMP Tail/Brake lights on ebay a number of days ago? I bought a set for myself. I won't upset anyone by stating the purchase price, suffice to say that I am VERY pleased with the transaction. ![]() These may prove to be my treasured 'Purchase of the Year'!
