Scout T5329

[Ben]

Very pleased and amazed that it turned up. They could have sat in a Belgium shed for another 70 years, it was only the hole pattern that made me guess what they were, I'd never have guessed they'd have looked like they do.

The stuff is still out there, just not so much of it. I drove to Belgium to collect an ex BEF, first contract Royal Enfield last month. All the original paint is under the post war civilian black paint including the census number on the rear number plate.

I'll forward the hole pattern. I'd be amazed if they fitted another vehicle but you never know.

There's nothing in the early parts books that give any clues to gun installation, no surprise really as British manuals are never the best. I suspect the part will be some kind of collar or clamp, one might turn up or perhaps a drawing. The mount isn't TL marked or listed in the parts book, less than 1000 Scouts were made so I assume less than 1000 adaptors.........
