These are reproduction L1A1 SLR top cover mounts for the L2A1 or A2, Sight Unit Infantry Trilux (or SUIT Sight, often refered to as the 'Suet sight').

These are made from original SLR top covers and original bridging pieces with new machined 'T' pieces faithfully copied from an original sight mount. The top cover simply replaces the plain top cover on the rifle, no special fitting is required. To fit the SUIT to the mount the front latch lever is lifted and held fully to the rear. The elevation adjusting point on the front of the sight is fitted into the groove at the front of the 'T' piece and the elevation cams on the sight aligned with the rear of the 'T' piece. The latch is then pushed down fully until it clicks into place. The sight is then held firmly in place under the tension of the latch spring. Removal is the reverse. The iron sights on the rifle can be used once the SUIT is removed without having to remove the top cover mount.

The mounts are fully refinished and are in new and unissued condition and for all practical purposes indistinguishable from original mountings. The mounts are spot welded and riveted in place as the originals are and are not stripable.
