Hi, Thanks Ron, I want to mount a sten gun in the back of my tank hunter, I know as standard it wouldnt of had this facility but I have the clips and want to use them, i will take some pics later, The FUC-03 catalogue part number for them is C31UCW-104378 for both brackets but mine are slightly different.

I dont think the sten would look out of place on the tank hunter if mounted in a similiar postion as on the Mk2, I'm thinking they may of did this when the 2pdr was removed and they wanted to use it as a useful carrier, any thoughts on non stanadard stowage mods applied to carriers?.

Ron if you could let me know the spacing measurements between the clips, i think the T stock bracket is mounted at a slight angle looking at the parts drawing.

thanks kevin.

Kev. The front bracket lies vertical to the ground. it's about 1/2" from the front and top of splash shield at the nearest points. The rear bracket is almost at the top of shield at nearest point and lies at an angle to suit the T butt. Distance between centres of brackets is 22 1/2". Ron
