The "gentleman" was probably Roger Payne
. Rumor has it he has another batch ready. His mounts are first rate and the very best new made ones available.

I still have some brackets available.....not at Chinese-made prices I'm afraid, but they are entirely UK
produced from the castings through to the final finishing. I've been getting them done now for 20 years (rather longer than the opposition) so the gent above might well have bought one from me...

I think I have three or four of Roger's brackets. I'm not discounting this mans product and am impressed he has gone to the effort. I hope it plays out well for everyone but I will stick with what I know works for now.

You are a wise man MJ1. These are the only brackets purchased by and used as replacements by the MoD during the last L42 refurbishment programmes carried out in the 80's, prior to putting quantities of L42's into mobilization stores.

You will have to point that out to DRP some time. He was the artist on this job, LOL.
