Thanks for that, Now I would like to see from underneath looking up.

Have you any pics of the other side?

What did you do your countersinking with?

Default Details

Lynn, you wrote (paraphrased):

I wish to see how the angle iron going forward meets the steel work at the bottom of the front armour.
The bolt in the first picture would hold the front guard on.
The second picture shows (arrow) where the detail would be that I require. The hole the headlight wiring goes through should help you.



Here are your two images along with what I hope is the information you have requested. You will see the holes open where the mounting bolts that hold the Gunner side fender are currently removed.
