Dave Im not too sure on that plate. I would think it bolts down onto the hull floor and covers the hole.
Finished making the tripod bin the other day. Im getting better at welding and loving every minute of it. I also cut the felt to fit. I found using a zip disk in the hand grinder the easiest way to cut on the angles. Much easier then a knife.

As I said mine has a small square plate welded to the underside of my mount and looks original and is 1/8th thick so maybe it had a gasket of the same thickness that went under it as the mane plate does not sit flush with the floor, See pic. Also my tripod box has whats left of the bottom felt and the 3 holes are 7/8 in diameter for the bolts possibly, see pic.

That standoff is probably to keep the plate level.

I made up the jack block a few weeks ago for the Carrier. I used a period milling machine for drilling the holes.

Nice work Jordan, interesting you have put the jack block in facing the carrier, I have mine the other way round, with the later canvas strap fastening, is your the correct way?.

It was copied from the pictures of an original. I do not see how it could fit any other way.

It looks like you put the two notches on the wrong end in comparison with the opening. Here is a link to some examples you posted previously: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...91&postcount=4 I have always seen the strap holding the jack into the block into the mount as Kevin alludes to.
