Hi, I see the the 2 pdr carrier now has a place in 'world of tanks' gaming.

Looks a Formidable Opponent for any Mk1 tiger!.

I think you need the big pointy thing that's on top of the one in the game on top of yours.

Hello Kevin, do you know if the 2 Pdr mount is a specific Carrier item, or would it common with the standard gun? The 2 Pdr has a traverse mechanism. A group I am in have two 2 Pdr, one of which is res.tored and one in the process. You’d be welcome to come and measure what we have.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom, No that won’t help, it’s unique to the tank hunter carrier to take the saddle off a Mk4 6 pdr gun carriage.

Hi Kevin. I can't help with any dimensions, but studying your pictures, there are five attachment studs and holes? It makes sense that there is a webbing piece between each hole! Otherwise it wouldn't be evenly supported. Ron

Kevin, if you have the correct spigot for the male side of things, couldn't you just reverse engineer the female side of the job ? you have images, surely its a case of machining to fit the male portion then make it look correct ?

just a thought.
