Euan is correct. Your clutch rod from pedal to pivot bracket is in backwards.

A simple error to make as the parts manual illustration pictures it installed the way Richie has it.

Looking good Richie. It's well worth the effort!! How far off are you getting the noisy bits in?

Yeah, Lynn, the seat back bottom rail has not been out the machine, but looks to be a later fitting... I will check the brackets etc for part numbers, but basically by turning the handle at the end it tilts the base of the seat back and forward, I wondered if it had been a post war thing jerry's rigged, but there are remains of the gunners seat too.

The carrier is 1942 dated, and I am unsure as to when the mods from Mk1 to Mk2 began to filter through.

I'm waiting for Michael R. to explain that later production MkI*s were fitted with the MkII* seat back hardware.
It's probably not the case, that all the changes/ improvements were introduced at the same time. I would guess the introduction of the MkII* was more a collection of re-design features hitting the production line at one time, justifying the re designation to reduce the confusion in the parts supply and r&m instructions.

From my understanding all MK1* have the same seat style as Richie's

Lynn you are probably more familiar with the early style which has the two bars top and bottom same as Richie has on the top. This was the standard up until the MK1 not sure about a British MK1 compared to the * version.

The Scout, Bren and LP1NZ will have the two bars and corresponding extra set of hooks on the div plate.
