Plate is flush to front
The side armor stops flush with driver side of plate #; CTL 13284 (Plate - division – corner) as you can see in the photos. I’ve included my updated side armor drawings as well. I believe the drawings to be fairly accurate however I leave them open to the forums critique. I’m working on the bulkhead drawings I will provide them when complete.
I’ve been provided with the cost of side armor cutting, the quote is $105.00 CND funds per side. Steel will be an extra cost. Does the amount sound reasonable (this will include rivet holes)? How does this compare with other suppliers?

Rick you listed the armour thickness as 10mm can you tripple check this as my carrier remnants are thinner stuff. the front armour is 10mm though.
just measured the bits with a Micrometer and:- Glacis plate is 5mm Front armour is 10mm center bulkhead (main section) is 5mm Side and rear armour is 7mm this is on a 1942 canadian Mk1 that i have.

Richard
The thickness of the armour varies. I have front armour from a Canadian Mk1, and front armour from a British mk1. Both are different. The mcDell boys had some plates cut out with a veiw to using the original steering box fabrication. It didnt work and they had to go for the thinner plate. (same as original)
I think I have reported this correctly. If your following this Greg or Chris, come in and explain.

i have DXF'd the side armour and the center bulkhead plate (i am awaiting final details from Rick to see if any measurements need corrected on the center plate) once done i can get them onto discs etc for folk, just need the front armour, rear armour, and tool plate then that should be the lot !
