Ive seen wartime pics of mk 1 3" mortar carriers with Stacy towing attachments.

Has anyone noticed that a carrier has an exta riveted plate on the clamping towing leaf Spring ?, it's unique to carrier and not seen on truck towing attachments.

All is revealed here : http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...=Stacey+towing

Another thing is that if you look at wartime pictures from Mk1 Carriers with stacey towing arrangements , that the tow hook has flat ends on the handles , compared to the round ones on CMP`s

Good on you Petr for taking the time to photograph, are there any markings on the fabricated ones ? They look straight forward to reproduce. If I had a fabricated one in my hand in the U.K. I might have a go at making a run of them. Mk1 mortar carrier with towe attachment pictured.

Will check it at Saturday Kevin, but I think no markings present at all.
