Cyclone303 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hello all, I have recently noticed that on my Daimler Dingo bonnet it has about 7 footmans loops welded to it. Does anyone have any idea what they may be for? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any idea what they may be for? ChrisHi Chris,The two loops at the rear edge are for the radiator blanking plate to strap to when in use. The others are to secure a Bren gun tripod.Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone303 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi Richard, Thanks for the help mate. Just to make clear what is the "Radiator Blanking Plate"? also do you have pictures of the tripod or the plate mounted?

Chris Hi Chris, No pictures readily to hand, but I seem to remember there is a pic of the blanking plate fitted in one of the drivers handbooks. Very simple to make too.
