What are these holes for?
Hi guys, Maybe the plastic is starting to get lost from my six pack, but what are the holes marked "1" and "2" for?
(the ones marked "d" are where the dash panel mounts)

I have always wondered the same thing. Mine have the boss head screws in them with nuts on the back and that is it. They look like nothing was ever attached there.

likewise i have a domed / countersunk slot head bolt and nut through there could it be some sort of setup for a bracket to fit a dust screen on the top of the armour ?

Hi Guys
The holes are for a fuse block mounted to the inside. It is hidden behind the control panel. Kind Regards Nigel |

fuse holder
Hi, Interesting, I had not noticed those holes before, on the tank hunter the front driver armour piece is off a british carrier and has not got those holes, when I aligned the armour it went in perfect, other intersting note is on a british carrier the dash holes are the same as on a canadian carrier, but the cable armour cover for the headlight utilisers the bottom dash mount hole for one of it's securing holes. On a canadian canadian built carrier there are two seperate holes, hence the inside cable guard cover wont fit, puzzled this one over for an hour until i looked at the uncut mortar carrier and realised the difference.
does this make sense, not saying all british carriers dont have those two fuse holder fuses but i think Mk2's dont?. Kev.
