Now that was done I got all of the vision slot shutters and hardware ready as I had some repo and original pieces that I am using for my carrier. One of the items I cam up with is the specialty screw heads that go through both of the plates and the glass frames. A while back I was at a friends where he was restoring a M3 scout car and it used a lot of countersunk slight dome head bolts and when I looked at them they looked like the ones used on the carrier as I had a couple original ones for comparison. As I was using the specialty nuts on the back side that were of the BSF thread and the scout car bolts were too short anyhow I just cut them down and got some BSF bolts and welded them onto the ends and did a slight bit of back cut on the counter sunk side and presto it worked great and you cant tell the difference.
