Page 11 of Nigel īs book : Boys rifle brackets . Notice there are 3 . The rear one is wide enough for the PIAT and is probably for the butt . The middle one is bolted to the top of the engine compartment and i don’t know what’s it for . The front one is up near the division wall and is for the barrel . It would not be of use for the PIAT . So , same place , different brackets for the PIAT. No idea if it was ever adopted by the Canadian manufacturer Ford. I notice the Bren drum magazine winding bracket to the left of the engine grill.

Thanks Robert. I must say, I like the look of the PIAT up there. I sometimes trip over mine! I can't see how the standard Boys brackets would have done it?
