Fantastic job there Bruce.
 Hey Bruce, what is that MG pintle receiver / holder / socket on your engine top cover ?

I'm happy to report it got a good run last weekend. No leaks (though I did have a moment of pause when I saw some rainwater that had collected in the bowls) and decent cooling despite the 34C temperature.
Do you mean the socket thing in the first pic? If so, it's one of four cast brass mounts for the Bren MG post as factory equipped on Mk.1 Carriers. Quote:

Robert: Are you talking about the brass mount on the close-to-the-camera side? There are 4 of those on the mk1 standard carrier. They accept the spring loaded pogo stock mount to hold a Bren gun in the anti-aircraft position.

Or this. They also came out with a different mount to fit in the Vickers mount in the Australian type carriers. This one is correct for the Bren as mounted in the gunners slot in the Pre-Universal carriers.

Thanks Bruce , Rob and Lynn.
It is an education . It is certainly intereresting. The differences between a Mk 1 and a Mk II are numerous.

Arthur, I have one as per photo, but with the Vickers mount base. I would trade that Vickers base for one like that in the photo.
