Default M3A1 AOP Scout Car upper door armour

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

Lynn - yes, I saw that Scout car armour on EBay. I have all the big stuff I need but I was eyeing up the tool box lid, rather than having to build it from scratch. The postage was going to be a bit steep though at $80. I will give it some more thought.

Dave - thanks for the dimensions. Can I please confirm the hole spacing for the front armour down latch? In your last post you had 6" centres for this but in your previous post, the measurement worked out to be 6 1/4" (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).

I know it is not a huge difference. This latch hasn't yet arrived to me but I was getting all the holes drilled this weekend if I can.

Thanks.
