That reminds me Howard,
I've had this in the shed for years, does anyone reconnise it?
It is designed to mount on about a 30 angle, and I have never been able to find any where on the Land Rover where it could go. Is looks like it is designed to hold documents etc, with the spring running along the top.
Length is 42" or 1065mm, height is 12" or 302mm. The clamps span 28mm fully open, down to 22mm fully closed, so it mounts to something at least 22mm thick.
It looked unused when I picked it up years ago, and was always olive drab. It does not have any bronze green, so I guess that makes it mid 60s and on.
I have always wondered what this was, will be interesting to find out, I'm sure that it is something really obvious that I've missed!
Cheers,
Mike.
