Fire Extinguisher Mounts

[super dave]

As I am getting closer to finishing my fabrication on the carrier I am at the point of the fire extinguisher brackets and need to make one or two of them.

With my carrier I got two types of the brackets for the MK1 carrier. First is CTL13303 which is a flat plate that bolts to the upper deck of the engine and the extinguisher mount screws to it. The second is CTL13276 and is bent down at both ends, But this bracket is NOT listed in the parts book . If I hold it up to the drivers side mounting holes with the extinguisher mount it seems to work there but I have seen some pictures that the bracket instead of being bent down at both ends it curves back around and bolts in behind the bracket.

Does anyone have a good clear picture or pictures of this bracket and the measurements so that I could make a couple, PLEASE

Also the CTL13276 bracket will not work on the gunners side front as the extinguisher mounts to low and hits the mudgard, But the other style bracket with the curve back seems to mount the extinguisher higher.

Another thing I noticed is that the mounting pattern of the brackets and extinguisher mounts are different, the 6 screw holes the rear deck mounts are longer than the front mount. Just found that interesting as looking at the fire extinguishers I picked up for it 2 had the longer screw mounts and one had the shorter pattern which fits the CTL13276 bracket, see pictures. I believe the one picture is of Jordens carrier

my carrier still has the original gunners side bracket fitted and it uses the mount with the bent ends. it mounts at the back end of the folding armour plate. it is fixed with 2 dome head screws

Interesting picture, I see the extinguisher mount sits high on the bracket in order to fit that location. I took a couple more picture of my mount showing it in both locations and that it fits the driver side division wall but not the gunners plate. Another observation I made of my mount is that it will only go one way and only the drivers position as it has two different hole sizes to mount it, top hole is 3/8 and the lower hole is 5/16 also the bent part has an 1/8 offset in the step at the top because of the angle to keep it level (see pics)

IS there no one out there that has a MK1 carrier with fire extinguishers mounted up front ??????? I have made a simple drawing of it and if someone could PLEASE see if they have an original bracket that they can get me the measurements to especially the gunner side:

A
B
C
D
E
F

Also I have seen a couple pictures with the reverse bend at the top and some at the bottom, Which end is up ??
