Now that we have everything clarified
      I am now into the turret fabrication. The bottom section had to be cut for a flat plate so I made a tracing jig to get the correct angle and it took about an hour to cut the section out and clean up. I will cut the other one before I progress any more.

They are now both sitting on the bearing and roll so easy and level. I have cut the main pieces and will continue with angle iron to join it all together with rivets. Without measuring my M3 Stuart turret I would have to say it could be a little bit bigger.

I would just like to thank Russ Gregg from Canada who has taken the time to go to the Borden Museum and take a lot of photos and measurements for me. It is help like this that makes this forum invaluable in the restoration of these machines. Thankyou Russ

Just a small update as to my progress on the turrets. They are both progressing but not too fast as there is a lot of hand cutting and grinding to make everything fit as it should.
