Smoke projector projectile bin on MkII
Hello gents . Just acquired this bin for the smoke generators . It took me a few years to find it and for some time i thought i would have to reproduce it . Thanks to a good friend ( thanks D ) i now have an original . It’s brand new FM CO 1944 marked ! Here is my question : How & where do you mount it and with what screws under the front glacis ( armor ) of the Carrier ? Pictures and advise appreciated . Thanks . Bob

Hi Robert, check my thread, I think there are few pics.
Three countersunk screws through the glacis, I believe.

Here is something - two countersunk and possibly two hexagonal screws which holds towing rope bracket?

Can’t find it . By the way to anyone interested : Modern 81 mm mortar round cardboard tubes / canisters fit perfectly in the bin . If you cut the tubes to lenght you can fit 6 in there just like the originals . I will post pictures soon .Perfect reproduction containers. Now where do you find those tubes ? Look into garbage containers after a mortar shoot on your nearest base . They are free !

As promised . Here are the 81 mm mortar cardboard tubes . You can fit 6 in there just like the originals ! Richard , keep looking but reproducing a friend’s original might be the only solution. Cheers . Bob

The “document bin” is for documents. It’s for the Mk1 Carriers.

Found the four holes to screw in the bin under the glacis ! Petr it’s not the steel rope holder , it’s just beside it ! It took 3 hours this morning to find them and unscrew the rusted bolts .... Victory .

Again, another small interesting difference between british and canadians carriers. Slightly different layout of holes on mine. Anyway, you got the point.
This type of document bin is also used on Mk.II Mortar Carriers.
