Mk1 1942 built Canadian carrier

[kevin powles]

Hi, I have seen a few Mk1 carriers without the support, I think Nigel Watsons carrier has the rivets in with no bracket, I dont think it is unique to the tank hunter. I have attached another pic of a carrier with no bracket, i will not fit a bracket to mine, what i am looking for is a close pattern choke cable.

Hi, can anyone tell me the dimensions please of the rear tow rope holder brackets which bolt on the raer plate, are they the same size as the Mk2 carrier ones which go on the front plate?, I have the webbed piece but need the oblong dimensions of the fixing plate as they have corroded in half.

The Mk2 tow rope brackets that go on the front are a fair bit smaller. I had some made but they ended up being for the Mk2.

hi lynn,

i have an old bracket here the webbed horn part only, not sure if it is from a mk2 or mk1, i understand the horn sticks out 6 1/8", i was going to make the oblong piece 4 1/8" by 7 1/2" from 4mm thick material, from photos the horn is as far out as the rear foot step.

If you can confirm these dimensions or correct them it would be great, i want to make horn of them this week.
