Your correct David, they are for side armour Which you would think was a lost cause.

Breech and sight assembly fitted. The Breech Ring assembly isn't the original although both 1942 dated I fitted a nicer looking BRA with a much lovely patina.
Shield going on tomorrow !

Hi Rob

You may have already found these photos but will post the link anyway. They are mixed in with other interesting WWII manufacturing photos on Facebook. Peter Ashby posted the link over on HMVF https://www.facebook.com/Radio.WW2/p...type=3&theater

The 2 pounder photos start at photo #66 https://www.facebook.com/Radio.WW2/p...type=3&theater

I'd post the photos directly but have trouble saving Facebook photos.

Cheers Phil

Just some titivating to do now ,touching up bolt heads etc and I need to get a seat cushion made.
Looking towards the next project now so hopefully get that in the workshop in a few weeks.

Nice work Rob, and like mentioned early what a complex little thing

Todays jobs were to strip the telescope and renew and replace the dust seals.
As usual EBay was the source of some 3/16 copper rivets just right for the job !
