Default Aussie bren mount

I an interested in knowing exactly how the weapon was held in the 'pole mount' on Aussie softskins. This is the mount that came up the side of the cab and bent over at the top like on the second Dodge in.

Cheers
Cliff

Here's some details for Cliff. There are more detailed drawings for the Gallows mount too.

Default Motley manual

This is one of Arjan's Motley manuals. It took a lot of work to get the pix fixed up to post. I made it into a pdf file for myself but at the lowest resolution possible it's over a 3 mb file so I'll post the jpg images.

Default Bren mount proposal

This Bren mount proposal is dated 1936. Note that it uses the front leg of the Bren tripod.
