Hey VA5124,

Unfortunately there is no room in the wing, as it was constructed.

Maybe if you replaced the slat with a solid LE. But that would still be a lot of weight to be adding that far out on the wings, significantly reducing the roll rate acceleration.

I can't think of anywhere I've seen it online. My source is copies made of a document;

Ideal Proportions of Ammunition for .303 inch, .50 inch, and 20 m.m Installations​

Prepared and circulated by​

The Directorate of Air Tactics (A.T.5)​

(Air Ministry)​

Earliest version I can see is January 1939 and latest May 1945.
