Mk1* gunners rifle rest image request
Folks I am just after some close up images of the angle that fits in the gunners firing aperture on the mk1*. Is the angle the same size as the angle used for the rifle rests in the rear compartment ? Does it mount on the inside or the outside of the front armour ?
Cheers in advance Richie

I can't do measurements, but here are pictures. The High rubber is British, the low one Canadian, how ever I think both steel bits are Canadian (the British stud is pointed?)

rest
Rich, Have a look at the thread 'mk1 carrier front gunners firing support plate'. The rubber part can be made from an old carrier tyre, this is what I did. I can measure the angle on mine its NOS if you like.
Kevin.

NOS nipples
Turn the nipple out on the lathe.
I believe Brian Asbury may have the mounting plate with nipple as NOS. Remember the fastener backing plate strip, TL 13069 which is on the front of the armour. Last edited by Michael R.; 23-09-13 at 03:03.
