phill the running gear from this would do your mk1 tub number is located on the rearmost gunners side angle bar the one that holds the rear armour in place normally between the first two rivets that hold the angle bar onto the track guard.

The jacking bar goes into the cross tube, for lifting the side of the carrier on a jack. To make it less boring, here are pictures.Note this may be for an Australian carrier. Much the same but different diameters. My cross tube is a shortened LP2 tube, in my English A.O.P.

Richard H.???????? Post no. 23 is the jacking bar.
Phill, you early production carrier is of Canadian manufacture. I revisited your photos.
Can someone identify the brackets for me in the last photo Phill has posted.

Lynn

They are left to right, the smoke launcher cable holder. That bike style cable would fit in the slot in the tube then its out of the way for the radio and less chance of getting snagged on other stuff. The next one is what the smoke launcher handle attaches too. Its flat steel in the shape of a "T" with a tube welded on the end. The next one is the bracket for the flare gun holster and grease gun hose. On the back of the flare holster there is a wide strap and it slides over the bracket. There is also a spot for a grease nipple to thread on. Obviously there is nothing to grease there except the back of your blouse, but the hose from the grease gun hooks onto it and then goes down the rear wall under the seat to the grease gun in its bracket.
