Tom here is some information for the position and bracket for the axle flood-lamp that Michael R sent me for my Mk2 (is it the same on Mk1?) The (CMP) lamps and changeover switch came from Dirk and the little plates came from Brian I think.

The flood-lamp bolts to the inside of the rear plate and points to the white disc which is fixed the the right silencer. Ron

Here's another picture of the engine cover, it has a stenciled part number under the paint. Does this correspond to a UK mortar Carrier?

Tom, If you got a 3” mortar carrier there, surely you want to restore it to mortar stowage configuration?. I would think 3” mortar carriers are rarer and more desirable?, or am I wrong ?.

Not now that you have all my mortar tubes! The rest of the stowage seems to be standard configuration as I have the battery box and standard stowage around the driver. I think perhaps the engine cover has come form a donor vehicle. How else could I tell if it is a Mortar Carrier variant?
