Hi David

Wow! Thanks for that. That is great. I'll start putting a sketch together.

I managed to lay my hands on some plans for the windshield and door armour for the half track. Like you say they are different. The measurements you've given me for the windshield are close to the halftrack windshield. The halftrack windshield armour is a little wider at 63 29/32". The shape of the folding door armour is quite different though and is flat along the top whereas the scout car is sloping. From what I can see though the viewing ports look to be the same.

By the way - how heavy was that windshield armour? Would it be a one person job to fit or does it need two?

Thanks again.

Cheers.
