Tony,

Looking good ..... some nice touches going onto your artillery piece.

The No.20 Fuze Indicator (ie the slide rule) mounts are 690mm apart, and the top edge of the brackets are 18mm from the top edge of the shield. The right hand bracket is positioned 40mm inwards from the right hand edge of the shield.

The two footman loops are 125mm from the top edge of the shield, and the right hand one is 230mm inboard from the right hand edge of the shield. The Loops are standard 55mm centre to centre, 15mm deep loops.

The base of the bracket measures 80mm x 43mm, and the depth of the part that holds the Indicator is 20mm deep, 30mm wide. The brackets are held on by 3 rivets, round head type, with the round heads to the outside (front) of the shield.

Measurements are from your local gun at Tiaro.

I have a good drawing of the No.20 F/Indicator in a Canadian parts book if you want to try and do any replicating, or have it for reference in case something like it comes up for sale.

How's the heat and humidity???? We are now basking in 0 degrees again .... mmmm lovely!

Best regards

Mike
