The Stacey towing attachment sure does fill out the back of the carrier and is a nice accessory. Here are some pictures of the mounting.
I will have to make up a bracket to hold the pick axe helve as it was removed. I may have to shorten a helve handle to get one stored back in there.

The wireless operators side 19 set radio equipment is missing most of its items but I’ve been busy collecting most of the items for a proper radio setup including having to make up the adaptor tray that bolts to the fender. Right now Dave just added some angle iron to the original 11 set tray. I have a proper 19 set tray I will use and just purchased the mounting straps, cables and other items for a proper radio set display. I will have to make a mount for the variometer, plate for the mounting of the junction box, proper antenna mount etc.

Other work that has to be done is make all the interior pieces of the stowage bins. The smoke generator, Bren spare barrel, flare rounds and grenade bins have to be finished off.

Now the bonus that came with buying Dave’s carrier is he gave me all of his spare parts that he collected over the years including all his spare track, pails & bins of spare parts, some NOS, another 19 set, tools, spare transmission and I got my Bren tripod back that I traded Dave for a set of jeep data plates 25 years ago!

I was very excited to get the tools. The jacking handle I’ve been looking for, the canvas wrench roll where there are 2 types, track jack, as well as all the other original tools. The jacking block is from a CMP but still an original part.

The spare parts have already come in handy. I’ve already added parts onto my original carrier that were missing or broken like brass Bren gun mount hook where there were 2 in the pile.

A NOS steering wheel is rare to find. I also bought 3 shovels from Dave that had nice wartime stampings on them. The jacking bar was also in its mounting clips.
