Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Keith Webb]

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.

Also the butt plate with strap loop might be too wide for a regular floor block. On the other hand..........at least it has its own 'padding' on the butt

I'll test this fit later today & let you all know.

And YES, I would also like to see the dimensions you have there.
