hi are the measurements on this ross discharger listed on ebay correct 10 inch long 4inch ID 4 1/2 inch OD as i am going to make a dummy tube.
also what is the thread thats on the end ? and i take it the adaptor is a male /male threaded nut type thing ? I got around the problem of cutting off the bracket its lucky that the holes on the mk2 bracket fell inside the deep water bracket plate, so i drilled and counter sunk the two holes in the deep water bracket and just put flat slotted c/s bolts in looks like a propper army mod now, should have thort about this when building the new sides but didnt think i would find bits like a 4inch smoke discharger bracket i made a simular mistake with the rear wings/ mud guards copied a pair that were off a carrier with a tow hitch then altered the to fit mine with out now ive found a hitch assembly so have to cut them out again....... Bloody typicial

Hi Martyn.
I just measured my original smoke discharger. I can confirm the O/D is 4.5" and I/D 4" therefore wall thickness =1/4" However the length of mine is nearer 9.5"....oow err missus! Not sure what you mean about the nut? It's a nut with a hex on the back edge and heavy splined edge at the front for finger tightening. I can't remember what thread it is, but I can check if necc. I can also give dimensions of the nut if required. Have a look at the state of my mounting bracket. I think it came from a carrier in Pounds yard that the tide had been coming in and over for years.

Ron a quick blast over to bare metal then skim the pitting with filler compound then flat back and she will look as good as new

Richard if you knew the amount of rusty and pitted metal I have dealt with over the years, you could be accused of teaching grandmother to suck eggs. For some reason at the time I felt I wanted to preserve the relic effect. I've changed my mind now I see it in a photo. I'll take it off soon and restore it properly

Hi Ron
Thanks for the measurements great help i see now the thread is a stright bit with a nut and a coller part on it i thort it was a double endded nut to screw into the discharger and the gun part but looking at your photos its not, easyer to make few lol My bracket is just about the same condition looks like its been in a box full of water for too many years i did think about making a new one but i like some original parts on her.

For what its worth here below are two pictures of the 4 inch discharger bracket and the 2in. mortar mount. You can see that the 4in. mount has been pivoted down and is held by two bolts. The spare bolt is above the bracket. John.
