Bren mag bags
Here are a few more pictures of the Bren mag bags . The Canadian version ( credit to Terry W for this particular example ) has a short and a long canvas strap . The short on is to grab by hand and the long is to shoulder the bag thus you can carry a few around your neck/ shoulders . That would indicate to me they were meant to be taken out of the vehicle altogether. The British version it seems had an internal canvas bag with a shoulder strap . The leather bag would i presume stay with the Carrier .

mirror stems for MkII
Hi all. Here is the result for the MkII mirror stems primed and ready for black matte paint. I Actually went to see a blacksmith who had round stock in stock . He heated the end and flattened it then punched the holes for the bolts . Nice experience. It seems that’s how it was done in the day . Thanks for the advice Rob and Michael .

Homemade Carrier track jack
Friends, while waiting for my gas tank i continued working on a few odds and ends to improve the Carrier. The mirror stems are painted and installed . The B set antenna base ( No8) came back from England and Richie did a great job in restoring it. It looks NOS. Kudos Richie. In these pictures you will recognize ( well some of you will from prior service ) a M113 APC track jack . I grinded the ends of the claws to fit Carrier tracks and voilà ! My very own homemade Carrier track jack that i can actually use in the field without fear of it breaking or of losing it .

Final coat of matte black paint on mirror stem
My source tells me they were painted black . So here it is . My new mirror stem for the MkII Carrier made of steel round stock with one end heated and flattened.
