G'Day IMA in america have them but a bit expensive , or you can download the pic's they have and buy some 20mmx2mm flatbar and make your own. mine cost about $20 and 4 hours tinkering it does help if you can weld Good luck

If its of use I can e you the originol drawings for the cradle, D.D.(E.) 2428, one sheets shows it made up, the second the individual parts with full dimensions.
You don't have to be able to weld even, as its riveted ;-{D)
All the best

Thats cool, I'm the same way inclined myself.
No use then for identifying fakes? I've herd of IMA ones being passed off as originols.

I am pretty sure the IMA ones are reproduction chaps - despite stating otherwise. Unless someone can confirm to the contrary, I would stay clear of them. However, I will have a chat with them and try to find out whether that are or not when I chat next.

I have dealt with IMA a couple of times and found them very good. Both times deliveries have been prompt and the goods were top quality. They always state whether an item is original or not. Given the relative rarity of the ammo box cradles, I think their price is quite cheap. I know that my one cost a lot more than that!

IMA's are repro. For an original, you'd better be sitting down or have a well stuffed wallet...
