col i think inge already answered this in a previous thread with pics even

might be worth a search ?

+1 on the thread search Col.

The gaskets moved from the base to the lid at some point (T-3 I think) IIRC, so that might be a non runner. Locks differ to early ones too but they could be re-revited I guess.

i read that thread first i understand gaskets and locks are different and it is a little deeper i can work with that but what i want to know if that is the only differences or are they a different shape and the two halves wont go together at all

In the thread Charlie reefers to I did write that the two halves (in the combination mk.3 base and mk.1 lid) did fit, but it was a very thight fit.
The opposite way would then be a more loose fit.

Don`t know how waterproof it would be as the opposite edge to the gaskets meets gaskets on the side instead of in the middle.
On the other hand haven`t seen one that is completly waterproof yet, due to the recessed mounting of the locks at the top.

Next issue would be that the mk.3 locks is turned 180^o, and the mounting points for the rivets on the inside of the lids is recessed.

But both with gaskets and locks, it would be several possibilities to find a workaround.

great work inge ...thanks
