25 pdr & limber advice please

I do a bit of model making (Mrs says to much!) and I was surprised by the lack of information on how the 25 pdr & limber were secured to the tractor unit.
Every kit, detailing set & pictures of completed kits just show the gun & limbers collar resting in the hooks?
Surely this would bounce out on any type of rough ground or under rapid breaking?
Can anyone help with information, I would prefer pics, but a good concise description may help - something is better than nothing.....sometimes. Really any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

Chris

 

There are some reasonable views in the first 5/6 posts here:

Chris,
Not sure wher you live, if in England, google "Garrison" and see the guns in person.
They do demonstrations and show in and around the south.
Fort Nelson used to have 2 or 3 guns and limbers, near Fareham.

Thanks for so much info so quickly.

Sorry Lawrence live in NW & I am fairly housebound (except for the occasional model show, if I can get a lift).

Owen great pics, is the first a 'modern' safety feature or is it original but painted up?

I think from these pics I can sort out something.....again many thanks.

Chris

 

If anyone got a better view (closer, different angles, etc) I will proceed on the information obtained

 

Chris make sure you show us the completed model that would be most interesting

Sorry not to up on techie stuff, tried to paste some pics in but error as files to big, don't know what to do

 

Try the 'upload a file' button under the reply box

 

Again sorry 'Idler' file to big, smallest pic is 3237kb, tried compressing them - nothing

 

this is the only one that is a small enough file

 

Chris,
Google them anyway and ask for some photos of the particular items.
They used to have several different quads.
If you are after the CMP quad, try your local MVT.

Cheers Lawrence, nothing on google for 'Garrison' it's under 'The Garrison' & emailed local MVT, now I'm getting somewhere fast.........yay

Again many thanks to everyone

Hi Chris. Cropping a pic can reduce the KBs. For example the pic you posted is 819 KB.
the same pic here cropped is now 78.4 KB. yet still shows same detail.
