Shorland Smoke Dischargers

[Rangie]

Hi Folks,

 

Does anyone know what model of Smoke Bombs were used with some of the Shorland APCs?

 

I don't know if they were the quite common No.80, or another variant specific to these devices?

The sizes stated appear to vary greatly whilst searching the net.

I would really like to get an expended/deac/drill variant for showing with the vehicle!

 

I am also looking for a set of rubber caps to suit such dischargers, 64mm nominal I/D. I will be displaying a set of Dummy types out and about.

I have one set of caps but they are far too big, 75-80mm Nominal I/D, must be for another variant.

 

Alec.

Alec just search for caps for Ferret smokies ie Smoke discharger, No.4 Mk 1.

 

Most pics of UDR Shorlands seem to show the flat ones. These are easier to obtain, although you may find that they are thicker than they should be because you have been sold caps from torsion bar ends for Stalwarts I believe.
