A few questions
Richard I’ve been fortunate enough to track down 4 Mk1’s. Between the 2 almost complete UC’s I will be able to obtain all “un-molested” measurements needed to produce armor for the cut down units I have.
It would be nice to have a couple users/owners from the forum double check my measurements, what is the forums unit preference; Metric or Imperial? I used Imperial assuming that was the original units used back in the 1940’s.
As I previously posted, I noticed some unexpected slight rivet-hole differences when measuring the side armor. I talked to Rob L. & he thought it was probably due to inconsistent flattening of the rivets during manufacture…what do you think? As suggested in a previous post, the most accurate solution would be to remove the rivets from original plate to get the factory “specs”.
As you can see from the photos the UC’s are rough and in need of a lot of “elbow grease”, also I will need to obtain fair bit of newly manufactured & NOS parts, etc. to finish them up. I plan to have at least one done by next summer for the “Alberta parade tour”.
