Default There is NO implication

I simply mean my carrier doesn't have it? And my carrier is factory as well.

I wish a Ford designer was around to say why? Or even a memo.

Its one of those puzzles?

Cheers
Adam

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

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

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.
