Armor CAD Drawings

[Rick DeBruyn]

Finally…we’re starting the laser cutting of a few plates, and covers for the carriers! All the measurements were taken off a Mk 1 carrier…perhaps anyone who might know what parts are interchangeable with a Mk2 could comment.

The laser cutter company is ready to cut both sides (CTL 12774 D Plate - protection - L.H. & CTL 12775 D Plate - protection - R.H.) and is waiting for quantity. The cost per side is 220.00 CND funds for pick up in Edmonton or Three Hills Alberta, Canada. The plates will be cut to dimension and have rivet holes cut out. If you’re interested you can PM me or email to stuff4rick@gmail.com.

I have provided the below original parts to the laser cutting company, they are confirming measurements will then format part drawings and I expect quotes shortly, so assess your needs and I will provide costs as they come in.

Is there anyone who will send me the cad drawings, as freight costs for the finished product to here would be horrendous. I need to do all the front armour. Thanks.

[RichardT10829]

i have center bulkhead and sides CAD'd i am still trying to do the front plates... Lynn i can email you the DXF's and can post you copies of 1:1 drawings of the front armour if this is of any help to you ?

[Lynn Eades]

Sounds good to me. Whats next?

[RichardT10829]

Email adress matey. If you email Rick he may give you the front DXF's alternate i will get another card tube and start plotting......takes me ages to draft them out though..i need to do a set for one of the lads here to CAD up. Mind folks looking at Ricks prices if you are on the same peice of rock / country as him that is a pretty good price

also Rick i would not cut the lower edge holes... most folk still have these frame rails on their carriers, cut the others but not the bottom edge...its better to offer the plate up and drill them, that way any discrepancies between machines wont throw the holes out of kilter......so to speak.


great work though buddy well done
