What a.....
useful device. Why the hell didn't the Canadian Design Board think of something like this instead of that stupid rubber strap to hold the Gun down.
????????? OK Bruce (Parker of course)...tackle this question. Peter S

Lynn, not seen the t16 mount used in universal carrier, saying I have seen the Aussi mount in British carriers, seen a photo also of Aussi mount being used in a universal full sided carrier, will try and find it. I have access to one in the UK to copy next week.
 kev.

Nice picture Mariano, There must have been a shortage of front guards, or some sort of trial going on. Any info with the picture?

How about this mount? To me it appears to be the "goose neck" from an anti aircraft mount that has been attached to the lower machined part that fits the brass mount. The carrier would be a British built one.
RHLI carrier from 1941. The carrier is the one that famously took the King for his first ride in a UC. The name plate on the front says "Gail" That was Denny Whitakers daughter back in Canada. He was the OC of the RHLI Carrier Platoon. The last picture is the entire platoon lined up for a photo.

Now you're complicating life Jordan. Never seen that one before.
It looks to be the standard bronze mount on the outside, so to use this mount would require four holes in the gunners front plate of a U.C. Are these British carriers? (Brit headlights and horn) What's the bit with the name on it above the drivers vision slot?
