Hi, What’s the item you got mounted on top of the kit locker box?.

That was an alternate spot to mount the crowbar that is mounted at the back plate with the other tools. Not sure why they would have a second spot to mount the crowbar. I would have thought it would be a good spot to mount the track jack but it doesn’t fit. I still don’t know for sure where the track jack was stowed on the Mark 1* carrier!

From what I can work out the bracket on the kit locker box lid is for handle for the British mechanical jack, I’ll post a picture tomorrow of mine stowed there. The Canadian made kit locker boxes still had the bracket arrangement even after they used the Walker 925 jack with shorter handle.

It’s the perfect length to be stowed there.

The parts list states it's for the jack handle.

Well that makes more sense. I couldn’t figure out why there was an alternate stowage spot for the crowbar but the only thing that measured 3 feet 6 inches long was the crowbar. Thanks for clarifying what went in there and the photo of the jack handle removes any doubt.
Now, where did the track jack stow on a Mark 1* carrier???
Thanks,Derk
