Default M3A1 AOP Scout Car upper door armour

Hi all,

I have the upper armour cut out for each door now as you can see in the picture. Thanks to all for the measurements to date.

I have the rear pistol port slide mounts here and have just managed to pick up the passenger side front guide with the down-lock bolt. I just need to find this guide for the driver’s side now.

If someone gets a few spare minutes can they please give me the dimensions of the pistol port slides?

Dave - I was going back over the posts in this thread and wanted to be sure of the location of the slide guides. Can I just confirm that this is what you had for the locations of the mounting holes for these guides:


A line drawn through the centres of the aft block guide mounting holes measures as being 1-1/8" aft of the rear edge of the opening with the hole centres 1-11/16" and 6-11/16" up the line from the lower edge.
Forward guide mounting hole centre line is 1-3/4" forward of forward edge of the opening with hole centres 4-3/8" and 10-1/2" up the line from the lower edge.
