MKI rifle and MG stowage

[Jordan Baker]

Going way back to the smoke generator bin.

I was test fitting it in my carrier today and I just wanted to run it by everyone. If it fits snug up against the angle iron the one end of the bin sticks out over the inner fender. If its up against the side plate it will need a riser to sit level.

My question is would there have been some sort of wooden or metal riser underneath to make it level and fit against the side plate. Also how far out from the rear plate did it sit. Would it have been just enough for the lid to sit straight up?
