Default Rear tool plate crow bar

Hi

Does anyone have an original spec crow bar that straps to the bottom of the tool plate?
If so would you mind measuring the diameter for me please?

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben, I did write you an email back about this and the 7/16" lifting eye screws but my computer locked up and it wasnt sent, the crowbar length is in the manual, diameter wise it needs to fit in the retaining strap holder, I will check tomorrow on the one I have but its a shortened vintage one with a point reground, will check the counter sunk bolt length tomorrow and post it up if no one beats me to it.

kev.

Thanks Kevin,

It's the diameter I'm after to help out make the bracket for the Bren.

Cheers

Thank you all. The Bren bracket is a little different from the UC type as there is no step on the RHS. The diameter lets me work out the size of the bottom fitting.

Thanks

Ben
