MKII Carrier, 4" Smoke Discharger Info

[Petr Brezina]

Hi all, would be anyone so kind and measure for me the position of four holes for the smoke discharger on the side armour (Mk.II)? I need to drill them on my project.
Many thanks in advance!

Petr I just measured mine as accurately as I can and drawn the hole centres at actual size on an A4 sheet.

But if you have the bracket? You will only need the top left hole as a datum.

3 3/4" from the front corner of armour and 1/2" from to top. Ron

Excellent, thank you very much Ron!
No, I dont have bracket yet.

[Ron Pier]

My armour with the holes is original, but I'd be inclined to drill the first hole and wait till you find a bracket before you drill the rest, otherwise you might be chasing them out with a rats tail file. Ron

[Petr Brezina]

Definitely true, Ron, but I think Im going to make replica of the bracket, so not an issue in this case. Thanks for support!

Petr, if you are going to make replica brackets, I would be interested in a few.

I believe Rod Shaver in Arizona had repro mark2 brackets made sometime in the past. Seems to me I recall seeing them on E-bay a bunch of years back. You may want to check with him.
