White M3A1 AOP Windshield and Door armour

[motto]

Hi Darryl
This should just about complete the requirements for the windshield armour.
Upper edge of view ports are 5-3/4" below top edge of the plate.

A vertical line drawn through the centres of the bolt holes for the view port block guides measures as being 1-3/32" beyond each end of the view port opening.
Centres for these holes are 3-3/4" and 8" below the upper edge.

The three support strut hole centres are 11-1/4" below the top edge.
If a line is drawn through the centres of the three holes and carried on to the edges of the plate, the outer two hole centres are 5-1/8" in from either end. The third hole is NOT on centre,it is offset to the right. Its centre is 27-1/4" from the r/h edge and 33-1/4" from the l/h edge.
These holes are .515" diameter X .250 deep. Bottom of holes are flat, not pointed.

One person can carry the windshield armour but to install it on the vehicle it may be wise to have somebody assist, particularly if everything is already painted. I would suggest that the three hinges be secured to the visor first so as it could then be placed on the vehicle in the down position and maybe a ratchet strap put right around it to stop it sliding down the scuttle.

Tomorrow, if conditions allow, I will take some door armour measurements.
