Hi, I picked these up today, however, I am unsure if they are what I think they are.

If you think they're frames for the armoured glass, then yes they are.

Nice find, they're usually broken.

Bryan, Have they got a part number on them?
They should have 688-3 and 688-4 for your carrier.
If they have TL**** or CTL**** They are most likely not going to fit.

Bryan, as Ben said, they are definitely carrier, but I think riveted carrier. The riveted carrier takes thinner glass than the LP2. About 5mm verses 6mm. If they are wrong, I can't help sorry.(if they fit, use them) They are handed. Two the same and one different per carrier. Do you have your carrier back? How is progress on it?

HI Lynn, yes there is 2 the same 1 different in the hole department. I measured the gap for the glass and it is 5mm. If they fit i will use them.
I haven't seen it since December but it was progressing, will have to go visit. Bryan
