Engine cover rails
 

Kevin are these the holes you are talking about.

See the red arrows.

Yes Jordan, they are the ones. I have some pictures of the angle iron frame which bolts onto it, it you could let me have the two measurements for each hole measured from the rear plate forward, i guess they are 5/6" hole size and centred to the angle iron.

many thanks kevin.

Sure thing.

Just wondering. Those of us that have Mk1* Carriers. Do your rails have those holes?

Hi Jordan, As far as I am aware those holes are only on the tank hunter version, the two welded on ribs are also missing on yours both sides to locate the top engine covers found on a standard carrier, if they were there they would foul on the gearbox cover frame, i have attached a picture, one picture shows a close up of the engine rail end with this gearbox cover frame in place. I have a set of Mk1 standard rails missing the holes with the ribs in place.

Hi Kevin

Ok got the holes measured up


Going from the back steel plate towards the front. The first hole is 4-1/4" to its center. The second hold from the back plate is 15-1/2 to its center.

The are 7/8 in from the inside edge. I can't remember if it was the center of the hole or not. However the holes are offset to the outer edge.

The hole diameter is 3/8"

Hope that helps.

Hi, Thanks for that Jordan. Will be working on getting that gearbox cover made over the next month.
