Is this what you're after? Ignore the bend in it, that was caused by a Bedford RL canopy bow

That is the part that I have but I was led to believe that there was an outer tube that this would go into and ratchet or similar on each level of the inner tapers to adjust for different heights. Is that correct?

That's correct, but the part you describe is welded into the air dam. Early LP2 carriers here in NZ didn't have the AA mount. Im unsure what the story is with Aussie carriers. Have you got an air dam for your carrier?

Air dam or air scoop as some call it, sits against the centre bulkhead and either bolts in or welds in depending on the carrier you've got. It channels air into the airfilters and radiator. It sits taller than the centre bulkhead and the top edge is radiused. The oil cooler and radiator sit inside the air dam.

Righto, so after speaking with a few people, I was informed that the aa mounts were not present on earlier carriers such as mine. What I am now wondering is if there were another type of bren mount that they made for the carriers similar to how the boys one worked?
