air duct mounting

[Dave Schindel]

Hi guys, I am ready to mount the triangular air ducts to the division plate in my MKII carrier, and I have few pics and no measurements for the position of the ducts. If anyone could help,I would sure appreciate it.I am also unsure as to what the engine cover side rails bolt to at the front.Do they just fasten to the air duct? The top half of my division plate had to be made , so I have no pattern for the rivet holes in that area.
Thanks in advance for any help!

the engine cover rails bolt to the rear hull with two bolts, the front part of the rails bolt to the air ducts with two bolts.

to position the ducts what i did was use the armour squares mounted on the centre bulkhead as a datum. the edge of the ducts should line up with the edge of the armoured squares. if you have the duct scoop, measure it then check you have positioned the ducts the correct distance apart. the ducts themselves actually bolt to the armour squares......

OK,so the ducts are level with the armor squares across the top? Thanks,Rich
