Thanks Maurice.
If yours fits I guess that settles it. Mine are only a fraction of an inch out, but it wont be the first time I've come across something fitted in not quite the right place on a WW2 venicle. Pressures of wartime production, I guess.

Can you post a picture of a P60 box?

Not sure what they look like?

Hi Walde
attached (hopefully) is a picture of the P60 box and the AT shot (basically just a lump of steel with a tracer in the base) and another of the box in the
CGT. You will see it doesnt sit quite flat, it sits up on the forward lip of bracket.

Thanks

This makes sense, its been a mystery for a while, I have never seen a P60 box at any swap meet in Canada. Anybody have a couple?

Next mystery is what was stored above the driver? There are some brackets. Also where were the door curtains stored?

PS

Your CGT body looks identical to mine, what is the S/N on the tag?

I have P60 boxes wich ly flat in the brackets , unfortunatly I forgot camera to take pictures .
Above the driver therte should be a plotting board/table in a canvas bag.
there are also 2 brackets in the top of the rear compartment just behind the cab , I was told that they were for the tripod for the plotting table.

Gents

I was out at the museum yesterday and took some measurements of my CGT ceiling just above driver. What was the purpose of the holder, the box at the window and the 2 -1/4 NC stud mounts?
The other question is there is a wooden block in the middle, it should also have a spring clip which I haven't made yet? I also added 2 pictures of the Newtonville CGT in 2004.
