Default Flare Box Mounting Details

Can someone please help me with the details of the mounting bracket for mounting the flare box to the engine cover in the riveted U.C.
Here is a picture of the holes in the side of my recently aquired original, early flare box with leather strap. Thanks to Robin Beale for swapping flare boxes with me.

Thanks Lynn & Jordan,

While it is a long way down the track before I even make up the armoured engine cover I do have an Aust flare box and can modify it accordingly.

I used to know where the bracket was without the flarebox but it got bulldozed a few years back...

Cheers

Phill

Had a look in a local scrap heap where I thought the bracket had been but no luck. I do remember picking it up and wondering what needed so many rivets to hold to such a small bracket.

It may still turn up but unlikely

Cheers

Sorry for missing that. It's going to be awhile before I can get that info. Just busy with works and new house and little time to play.

Jordan, Doug has asked for the bracket info, so I have revived the thread to get the last details from you, if we can have the width please?

Doug, I hope this covers what you need. I haven't done mine yet.
