White M3A1 AOP Windshield and Door armour

[Big D]

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

Lynn - yes, I saw that Scout car armour on EBay. I have all the big stuff I need but I was eyeing up the tool box lid, rather than having to build it from scratch. The postage was going to be a bit steep though at $80. I will give it some more thought.

Dave - thanks for the dimensions. Can I please confirm the hole spacing for the front armour down latch? In your last post you had 6" centres for this but in your previous post, the measurement worked out to be 6 1/4" (Forward guide mounting hole centre line is 1-3/4" forward of forward edge of the opening with hole centres 4-3/8" and 10-1/2" up the line from the lower edge).

I know it is not a huge difference. This latch hasn't yet arrived to me but I was getting all the holes drilled this weekend if I can.

Thanks.

The difference between the two measurements (error) is actually 1/8" Darryl, 10-1/2" minus 4-3/8" = 6-1/8" and I do believe the more recent dimension is correct @ 6". There is a little bit of guess work in locating the hole centres with the large countersink but I'm sure I'm right at the second attempt as I used a slightly better measuring arrangement.
Apologies for any confusion.

Dave

Hi Dave

Awesome. Thanks for that. My maths is clearly not that good! I'll run with 6".

Many thanks again.
