If you can obtain one of those 2 gallon cans with the brass screw top (common here in NZ) that will give you all the dimensions you need. You will need some of those cans anyway, as they were the ones used on wartime trucks. See pic attached of mine for my LRDG truck (same cans but different holder than your truck)

Shaun,
You have probably discovered already that Aust cans vary in size with the maker, and are different to the Canadian/British 2 gal cans. Aust can holders were dimensioned to take the larger Aust cans. Wrote an article on this some time ago called 'Fill 'er up, mate' published in Army Motors, which included a tabulated set of dimensional data for Aust cans of different makes. Mike |

I have one of those Australian can holders here in Kyneton, if you would like to measure it up.
see http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...5&postcount=66 for a picture. Tony
