Default Are these off a Blitz?

Can anyone tell me what these are off and where they would mount?

Thanks!

Think the second bracket is the top Bren gun mount out of a Blitz Cab 13. Too early and not enough timre to go out to the shed and double check,

Default Yep

I agree with Mike,

I have one or two at home and have picked up and passed on several others over the years. There is some suggestion they were also fitted to the 2 Pounder Portees but I'm not certain

Cheers

Phill

Default Rifle mount

Darren and Phil,

They also were fitted to Ford/Marmon Herrington 3A gun tractors and I need one if either of you are interested in selling one. Send me a PM if you are. It is one of the few parts I am in need of to complete my truck.

Default Blitz front mud flaps

Thanks for the replys!

I am trying to finish off the Ford blitz and was wondering if anyone could give me advice in regards to my front mud flaps. Should they be canvas or should they be steel "flaps" as per repos in photos? Should the canvas flaps I have now attached to the front be on the rear?

Default Front flaps

The short steel ones are correct for the front.
