Help Needed For Tank Parts ID
G'day All
I recently bought these parts. Although most are from the Grant and Stuart, I have been unable to identify some of the parts. I am keen to know what vehicle the 'arrowed' parts are from. Any help would be most appreciated |

Hi
The large white rack in the second photo is the ready bin from a stag hound, just to the right of the driver.... Kind regards |

Thanks Matt
Googled Staghound drivers compartment and found this illustration that shows the ammo can holder. One down, three to go. Last edited by Stuart Kirkham; 09-03-11 at 15:22. |

Tommy, the large box you have is the second to largest stowage box for a bren gun carrier and the box standing up without a lid is a bren carrier front tool box.
Regards Colin. |

Tommy - the white lid with four strap feet is the lid off a 37mm ammo bin for grant I believe, there are several at the Nungarin Museum in the parts pile and I have one as well.
The tank in the first picture might be out of a Rover armoured car. The other brackets are a bit of a mystery. We have several sets at Nungarin which we thought may have been something to do with the 2 pounder portees. I would love to know the right answer as well. Cheers Phill

I had a good look at the photos in this link - http://www.oldcmp.net/rover_1.html - but could not see the oil tank. I have attached some close-up photos of the tank. Yes I agree. The bracket/holder (see below) is a bit of a mystery. |

Hi,
The "Mystery Bracket" is the Vickers Ammo can holder for use on the Anti Aircraft mount, good photo on the Australian War Memorial site, under "collection", Photo ID 0G0642. I have seen one of the adaptors laying in a farmers tip somewhere, didn't know what it was and can't for the life of me remember where it was!! Cheers |

G'day Tommy, Are you interested in parting with the Stag ready ammo box and 37mm counterbalance?

The counterbalance is for the 75mm main gun as installed in the Grant Tank. This has already gone to a restoration project. Which Stag ammo box are you after as there are a number of boxes shown in the photos (post #1)? |
