David B. Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Just sorting out some stuff which has been in store and have found a steel open top box/bracket containing one of the large AFV first aid kit boxes. The item is padded inside,approx 11"x5"x3" with a 2" extension each side ,has two tags with mounting holes at the rear and is sprayed matt green over silver. I'm guessing it is for a post war British vehicle but can anyone please tell me if it is specific to one type of vehicle or a standard AFV fitting ? Edited October 10, 2010 by David B.

Sounds like it could be similar to the one found on the rear left hand side of the Spartan. Mine is 120 miles away at the mo so a bit difficult to measure. As John says a photo would help - I'm sure it would fit other vehicles as well though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B. Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 No its not a Spartan one - thanks for the info though.I will try and get a picture. It looks and feels older to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It sounds like the wartime container for the 'box, first aid, small'. These were a standard fitment on British AFVs such as Cromwell and Dingo. Chris Wilkinson had several that were painted green over silver. It should however have a lid so a picture would be useful!
