Any photo's of this inner pot would be apreatiated especialy the bottom where the filler plug is. Anyone also know what the cutout is on the side of the outer casing.

This mine seems to be a rare beast, were they used much during the war.

Hello Chris, that's all I've found in my pic-collection.

Hi BMG50,

have a look on the site of "lexpev". There are beautiful pics of the Mk I and II APers mine.

Thanks Peter for the pictures, it seems looking at the pictures that the inner pot stands a little proud of the outer casing, a tad more than 5" inches and the diameter quite a loose fit in the pot, i worked it out that it could be 3"1/8 or 80mm but just need to know the exact diameter. I can see the cut out on the outer pot, can't make out what its for.
I have had a look at Lexpev site, i agree very good pictures but it would be good to get the sizes or even the original inner pot its self.
