Peter--a question on my L42 transit chests

[RobD]

To Capt. Laidler:
Peter, you said: "Give me a clearer picture or image of that number beginning A 0003?? or whatever it is and I'll tell you which unit it came from."
The number is A0603A - I'd be over the moon if you could tell me which unit this is from.

I'll see what I can find out about A-0603A next week. In the meantime, the lid to box sealing rubber is the same as that found on mouse mats. So find your mouse mad makers/suppliers and you've found your elusive rubber seal material

[RobD]

Capt. Laidler has sent me the identification of A-0603A - many thanks, Peter.

Peter,

I have looked closely at RobD’s L42A1 Chest the UIN (unit identification number) is A0603A. I hope this will let RobD know the unit it came from!! Just out of intrest my UIN is A0826A who would this belong to …

[RobD]

Dan, suggest contact Peter by PM. UINs may be sensitive info?

[Peter Laidler]

You're right. THey're not for general consumption. I thought we'd done your earlier DanL?

[Peter Laidler]

pm with info sent

the latches , catches and I think the hinges are the same as fitted to the new'er L7 (GPMG) transit boxes. (the old GPMG boxes were fitted with the same latches as the No 15 chest!!)
Are ther any plans for the L42 chest anywhere? I've just finished a No15 chest and would like to make one of these (for an Enforcer (type))

Hello Just wanted to ask the same question as Skiprat is there any plans for a L42 chest I can find loads on No15 chests but very little on L42? If not could someone give me measurements on an existing chest also photos of the Bottom closed/Back when its open. I want to make one for an Enforcer. Cheers

there doesn't seem to be a standard marking for the exterior of an L42 chest either unlike the NO.4 T chest. the on I have has been pointed 2 /3 times and has bits of paper all over that have been painted over. pkus some red and yello paint on there also. no stencilling in evidence.

[Peter Laidler]

There was an official marking given in the Misc. management EMER or whatever it was that dealt with the refinishing of the chest when the complete equipment had undergone a Command or Base workshop repair. Someone had shown a refurbished/fully marked chest in an earlier thread as I recall and it was correct. There was a stencilling/marking format
