Vision Shutters
Hi everyone.
These have to be one of the harder parts of carrier restoration simply due to the fact that the descriptions suck and there was no parts diagram. I figured I would post the following pictures to identify the parts by their numbers.
Just a few notes.
The csk. machine screws and dome headed ones have yet to be cut to the proper length. I just haven't got to it. Plus the manual doesn't give a length for them.
The only parts I have left out are the cotter pins. Thats the one description that is easy to follow plus it should be rather obvious where they go.
The part manual refers to "Shutter, Gunner and Driver Observation" and " Shutter Gunner's Observation". All of my pictures are of the parts from the Drivers shutter. This has all of the same parts numbers as the extreme left side shutter. The middle shutter is the one referred to as "Shutter, Gunner's Observation." I have referred to its specific parts by just using "middle" after the part numbers. You will see what I mean when you get there.
Im keeping text to a minimum and will let the pictures speak for themselves. If anyone needs further clarification or spots errors in my part numbers please post a reply.
