Rob, have you ever seen that lever type on a Universal in N.Z.?
I don't think any of them came our way. Even the Canadian Mortars which were MkII* Correct?

With Rob's lower hull 4200 being a MK-I*, perhaps it was produced for an NZ contract, which called for the hook style bracket? That is four brackets per seat back, each with two cut-out positions.
The carrier is looking swell Richie. Web feet, cheesy grins, six toes... that will be quite a gathering. Last edited by Michael R.; 24-05-14 at 01:45.

A pic is worth lots of words...
My MkI* hull has had an LP engine fitted at some stage, with the front engine mounts and radiator shifted forward, and an LP rear mount fitted on the floor.
Hence it could have had anything done to it in the past. Michael can you tell anything from the bolt hole pattern in the bulkhead? Lynn, were any Mk II* in NZ? I haven't seen or heard of any. Rob

Rob, see my above post. I think Dave H's Mortar is a MkII*. I think the Mk designation is only relevant to the Mortar carriers as it is, in all other respects, a MkI*
I have seen a T16 dash for sale, I think there is a guy up near Thames with a T16, and there is probably the odd MkII around, but I don't think any MkIIs or MkII*s arrived during WWII or relevant to the war effort or as a result of government purchases in that era. Daves T number is 30080 isn't it? I think Jeff P told me we took delivery of 300 MkI*s, to N.Z., during the war.

Well I have started to feed the wiring back into the hull, well..... The front lights hahaha.
I have also started to setup the air duct scoop to graft the new steel back onto the original... I have the remains of an end piece that bolts to the sides of the ducts, but I am unsure as to where it is welded to the scoop if that makes sense ? Does anyone have a pic of this bit ?  I am also on the hunt for detail on the front rifle rest angle bar if anyone can help. And finally the pintle mount bracket that mounts to the above mentioned angle bar ? If anyone has one to sell, repro or original, I would be interested. Cheers Richie

I'll have a look at my curved section but it may differ due to the rounded early shaped armour.
I've got a pintle mount I can measure if you like, easy to make. There was an expensive one on ebay last week. My rifle rest is very different so that won't help, sorry.
