Correction! I have just measured my plate accurately with a vernier instead of the plastic rule I used yesterday. It is indeed 7/16". I've studied it with a mag glass and can't find a number. However the stowage holder which is mounted to the left of the firing slot, clearly has a part number. The top edge of my plate has an extra welded piece but no rivets....Could this be a British version? Ron

all the plates i have seen have the welded studs and the welded piece is on the edges rounded,also the other side from the plate has rounded edges.
the barlocking is also round grinded and the plate between the nut and spring sould be bigger,the nut is also welded on the bolt.

I have been discussing the gunner slot cover plate with Roy by email. He sent me a picture to show the rivets and their purpose. My plate has no rivets, but I just noticed that my front armour has two welded strips to form a rebate for the plate.
Is this a MK2 feature? Is a MK1 smooth? Out of interest:- My Candian parts list quotes CTL 947 SA Gunners slot cover plate My British Chillwell list quotes TL 947 SA Loophole cover plate. Ron Last edited by Ron Pier; 13-07-13 at 09:15.

Loop Hole Cover.
Gents, This I believe is a genuine loop hole protection plate fitted to a Welsh Guards Carrier.

Heres a couple of photo details from Ford of Canada showing the loophole cover plate in its stowed position and installed.
