Crank handle clip

[Grant Bowker]

CTL3869 is listed as "Clip -, jacking bar small" in the Housing Stores section of the Mk 1* parts list.
It is also listed as "Clip and all attaching hardware" in the section on parts to be deleted from the standard carrier for conversion to a tank hunting carrier.

I've found one of the hardest thing to replicate for restorations is spring clips like this. Originals are great but if they've been left outside they probably don't have much spring left in them. New spring steel is available but bending it into shape often results in breakage at sharp angles. I've had some success with strapping bands which are usually easy to get.

Mariano, you first image shows the jacking bar in a Mortar carrier. This appears to only use one clip. In other carriers there is a clip holding the small end. That is where your clip is used.

This clip is used on all Mk.I's, part number (C)TL3869 Clip, jacking bar, small.
Nice find.
There are three clips of similar shape, but different size - parts 12, 22, 23.

Hello Mariano.

Did Argentina receive, or use, any models of Universal Carriers, during or after World War 2?

Hi David!

Never arriving UC , may be a few but today no surviving.
Only arriving T16E2.
But there is large quantity of spares for vehicles buying to Canada in 1947 , including fuel lines for Ford Linx and this Clips , at least that's what I've been discovering by looking at their labels and part numbers.
