Help Needed For Tank Parts ID

[Rob Endersbee]

Hi,
The "Mystery Bracket" is the Vickers Ammo can holder for use on the Anti Aircraft mount, good photo on the Australian War Memorial site, under "collection", Photo ID 0G0642. I have seen one of the adaptors laying in a farmers tip somewhere, didn't know what it was and can't for the life of me remember where it was!!

Cheers

Hello Rob

Thanks for the ID

I did a search on the AWM site for photo ID 0G0642 but to no avail

I did however find this one.

G'day Tommy, Are you interested in parting with the Stag ready ammo box and 37mm counterbalance?

G'day Tobin

The counterbalance is for the 75mm main gun as installed in the Grant Tank. This has already gone to a restoration project.

Which Stag ammo box are you after as there are a number of boxes shown in the photos (post #1)?

Looks more like a pair of Grant 75mm trunnion caps placed together than an M2 counterbalance..?

You may be right Alex. I don't have them anymore so can't go and have closer look
