Looking at Gregg's profile #10 I would hazard that they are extensions for the wheel scotch holders that uses them as a step. The reference is vague but makes sense that some sort of extension could be stored there that adds an additional rung to the holders on each side just underneath. in the pictures you see the scotch holders, not the scotches and as there is no tailgate there is no other step unless you add one low enough. without one they appear to be to high to put your foot in to get up in the back. My thought

Hi James,
I also have these threaded studs on my C30 LAAT, but have no idea what they are for !. Maybe Rob in Canada knows. In the mean time, I'll keep looking for the answer. Regards Keith |

Hi Keith
Thanks for replying. It's amazing there are no pictures showing their use. I wondered if they were for wood blocks or wedges? Not a comfortable ride for the gunner seated next to them, James

Hi James,
I just had a thought, so went out and checked mine. I wondered if they where used to secure the jacking base plates for the Bofors gun. Then I found a picture of a LAAT towing a Bofors gun, and the jacking base plates appear to stay on the jacks on the gun. Back to the drawing board ! Keith |

I wondered that as well but wasn't sure if there was enough room. Obviously not!
Starting to really bug me now ! ![]()
