Default M3

Hi Andrew

Are they the same as the M8 supports? They appear the same.

The bearing size might be a good clue?

Maybe I get some measurements tomorrow. It may have been a common support for Stuarts/M8's all using the 37mm, If I cannot track some down, will cast a dozen up , Cheers Andrew.

The overall length of the casting is 206mm, tip to tip, and the width is 80mm, and the height is 116mm, Darryl if you can measure your M8 ones and see if they used the same support blocks?, Cheers Andrew.
