Default Bin.

Jordan, when you have time, no hurry could you put up a drawing for that, looks like a nice water trap.

Water trap, Yes especially when it's lined with felt.
Nice job Jordan.
It doesn't show in that old thread that you revived, but did you get the details for that Bren butt mount in the front floor centre. I thought I had posted details on that?

Kevin, see the thread on the Mk1 rifle and MG brackets. I already posted a drawing in it.

Lynn, do you mean the mount that sits up front by the drivers left foot? I've got the actual bracket. But I know there should be a kidneyished shaped plate it bolts to.

I have a template to hand for the mounting plate if it's of use. Taken from Lynn's original in the pictures

A question here, does this plate bolt down on another plate as I have one and it has a small square plate welded underneath at the square portion and does not sit level on the floor

Dave Im not too sure on that plate. I would think it bolts down onto the hull floor and covers the hole.

Finished making the tripod bin the other day. Im getting better at welding and loving every minute of it. I also cut the felt to fit. I found using a zip disk in the hand grinder the easiest way to cut on the angles. Much easier then a knife.
