Default carrier armour

I'll get these mesurements next week .I'm working on my 42WLC and am going for parts this week end . The side covers on the motor is a double plate and could be a little hard to make .I will get a measurement of them . for a MKII .The MKI are different .What I need is the measurments for the hitch on the back I have the spring and hook .I need the two arms from the carrier to the spring . George

Both the Canadian and British built carriers are built with metric plate. although in saying that there is some variation in the thichness of the vertical front armour between the two. This matters when installing new plate to the old frame work when you are able to use the original "box", that protects the steering box. Greg McDell can give you specifics on this, as he is my source of info. I have the most of the front armour for both,(non folding Mk1) but they are currently inaccessable.
The difference is such that the screws/bolts etc. for the shutters are different lengths.

Glad this thread was started, I can't believe how much easier this will make this job. Is metric plate available from suppliers in Canada? I've got some of my rear 'BP' plate still there, I should measure it. Phil
