Help identifying carrier parts?

[John A. Rippingham]

Hello,

i'm hoping some of you guys might be able to help me identify these parts, I'm pretty sure this first one is carrier, but where does it go? It has the part number C01UC105433 listed in the parts book as a ammo box but not shown on the drawing.


Not sure about this but it came with the carrier parts?



These looked like they could have been carrier, but on closer inspection the part number 440002805 told me they were not for mine.



Thanks in advance for any help

John

hi john
sorry but I don't recognise any of those bits

The bin looks like the radio spare parts bin that sits next to the ammo bin by the radio operator... It would be the first bin nearest to the centre bulkhead on the drivers side. I cannot gauge it's size by the pic, if it is that bin, I would be interested in one of them should you sell.

The boxes are about 8" square and about 10" high. I was thinking it's the box next to the passenger seat, but it's not labeled up on the drawing.

Thanks for your help.

Hi John Richard has it right, about the bin. The other bits are not carrier though, unless they are from a later model.

Are they the larger ammunition bins, TL 13065? Your estimate of 8x10 inch suggests they are. John, what is the part number punched into the side? The retaining clips are missing from the engine facing side. The clips held the spares wallet for the BREN. See Jordan B., who recently installed one. There should be a packing board between the bin and the mudguard. That will explain the rather longish 1/4 inch flat head countersunk retaining screws. The images from Steve Tegner in J'burg, RSA show the spacer in place on the museum MK-I*.

If it is the (much) smaller bin, as Richie and Lynn say to hold the radio spare tubes box, it should also have the clips on the front to hold the radio spares fuze box. A search of the assembly number in the parts manual will reveal the bin number. I will post an image or two. Bruce P likely has images of both with the spares cases in place.
