Default White M3A1 AOP Windshield and Door armour

Gidday all,

I am in the process of getting some repro armour made for the doors and front windshield of my scout car. I have some wooden templates of the size of the armour. I also have a few drawings showing some of the dimensions for both doors and windshield.

I should be able to figure out the hinge mounting holes without any problems by just fitting the templates into place. However, I don't have the dimensions for the placement of the viewing ports and their mounting holes on either the the doors or the windshield armour, or the windshield armour prop rod hole placement on the windshield armour.

Would anyone have some access to a plan or could send me some dimensions for these please?

From what I can see on the windshield armour, the slot for the windshield wipers is at the centre point of the where the viewing ports are located. Can someone confirm please?

Could someone please give me the actual measurements for the windshield wiper slots and the height of the viewing ports?

I have the dimensions of the viewing ports on the windshield and door armour as 8" by 3 1/2" with a 1" radius on the corners. What is the height of the viewing port on the windshield armour and the door armour?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
