Default Cad Drawings

Is there anyone who will send me the cad drawings, as freight costs for the finished product to here would be horrendous. I need to do all the front armour. Thanks.

Email adress matey. If you email Rick he may give you the front DXF's alternate i will get another card tube and start plotting......takes me ages to draft them out though..i need to do a set for one of the lads here to CAD up. Mind folks looking at Ricks prices if you are on the same peice of rock / country as him that is a pretty good price

also Rick i would not cut the lower edge holes... most folk still have these frame rails on their carriers, cut the others but not the bottom edge...its better to offer the plate up and drill them, that way any discrepancies between machines wont throw the holes out of kilter......so to speak.


great work though buddy well done

Lynn / Richard,

I don’t have access to the DXF files, at some point drawings could be made available…will post here if that can happen.

On the bottom rivet holes; the plate dimensions and hole placement was taken from both a Mk1 side plate and from a carrier with the plate removed but the angle iron / holes still in place…so I don’t see why the bottom holes wouldn’t be accurate as well as preferred. They should line up with your original angle iron or will be an accurate template if angle iron is missing.

Rick
