Sorry Ron, but Roy and I have been emailing about this since yesterday. So you are second! Sorry mate! But I will have a beer for you too if you are coming to W&P.
 Cheers,

purpose of rivets?
The cover Roy shows has 6 rivets that project through the plate to form 6 stubby pins (just like my cover). What purpose do they serve - they don't seem to help position the cross-bar. The cover Ron shows does not have these pins. My original has no part numbers, unusual for a Carrier part. ...... Brian

i think ron his plate is a repro one,a Original plate is 7/16 thick.
the welded pins help to stay the crossbar in horizontal or vertical position. our plate also don,t have the stamped number on it. after esaerch i discovered that the platenumber is tl14115,plate and thecrossbar tl14116,bar locking . the housing number for the stowage bracket is ctl 14120 housing,loophole,coverplate wich is fitted on a Welsh . i don,t know there is a stowage bracket mounted on a mk2.

Correction! I have just measured my plate accurately with a vernier instead of the plastic rule I used yesterday. It is indeed 7/16". I've studied it with a mag glass and can't find a number. However the stowage holder which is mounted to the left of the firing slot, clearly has a part number. The top edge of my plate has an extra welded piece but no rivets....Could this be a British version? Ron

all the plates i have seen have the welded studs and the welded piece is on the edges rounded,also the other side from the plate has rounded edges.
the barlocking is also round grinded and the plate between the nut and spring sould be bigger,the nut is also welded on the bolt.

I have been discussing the gunner slot cover plate with Roy by email. He sent me a picture to show the rivets and their purpose. My plate has no rivets, but I just noticed that my front armour has two welded strips to form a rebate for the plate.
Is this a MK2 feature? Is a MK1 smooth? Out of interest:- My Candian parts list quotes CTL 947 SA Gunners slot cover plate My British Chillwell list quotes TL 947 SA Loophole cover plate. Ron Last edited by Ron Pier; 13-07-13 at 09:15.

I'll be at W&P also 
My MK2 is also Welsh Guard Stowage. But I still haven't worked out where this plate fits. Time to study the parts list I think. Ron
