Default Boys Bracket Dimension

Hi everyone

Just wondering if someone can measure the distance from the top edge of the rear armour plate to the center of the two holes used to bolt the Boys rifle bracket.

See the picture for the two holes I'm talking about.

Thanks

hi, The distance down from the top to the centre of the bottom of the two holes is 10 1/8". The top hole has a rivet in it as it is a mortar carrier so cant measure spot on, The distance of the bottom hole centre from the left hand side is 19 7/8" but this includes the side armour thickness. If you have the bracket you can gauge the top hole, I have a bracket if you need the dimensions.

kevin.
