There is a previous thread on the radio box if you do some searchs. I also think the rifle rest measurements are in some of the armour threads.

It's the wooden part that i think will be the tricky bit to get to look right. Were they bolted on with counterbored holes to let the head of the bolt sit flush? also was the wood left natural or painted to match the carrier.
I'd imagine the wood needs to be pretty hard to stop it denting and marking too easily. Ben
