Danny P Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hi, Could someone help me with the measurements of the riffle bracket and angle irons (2x) in a bedford mw? I 've enclosed a drawing with A to I indication to make it more easy. Please notice the most upper drawing indicating how I would comprehend the measurements for the bracket and angle irons i.e. total measurement including iron thickness for some cases. Appreciate your help, Danny P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny P Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Hi Tomas, The rifle bracket in your MWC looks like it was originally fitted but is, as you say, different from the one in the attached picture. You could maybe help me out by measuring the thickness of the bracket as a starting point. I assume it is 5 or 6 mm? Furthermore, I still hope someone of the bedford owners out there is willing to help me out with the A to I measurements in my drawing! Thanks, Danny Edited November 11, 2017 by Danny P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon king Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Hi Danny Couple of photos of mine - has a bearing on dimensions the two L-brackets are staightforward - 1/8" thick strip A = 2" B = C = 2.75" D = 3.5" For the long bracket - for a start it differs from your drawing 1- the top corner of the trailing edge is angled/chamfered - 3/4" off overall length (of your dimension F) and width ( of your dimension G) 2 - the strip is just bent through 90 degrees So........................ from 3/16" thick strip (your dimension I) E = 10" F = 6.5" to start of chamfer or 7.25" overall G = 2.5" overall (or 1.75" taking account of chamfer at top) H = 1.5" Holes at bottom end are 2.5" apart on a vertical plane, 0.5" from cut edge For bizarre reason, this one had been welded to a plate, which in turn had been bolted to the stowage bin, but I think I have recovered it to its original shape/dimensions Hope this helps. Progress on mine is glacial but I will get there one day Edited November 12, 2017 by simon king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny P Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi Simon, Thank you very much for the measurements but to some extent is not completely clear to me. It could be because I'm a Dutchman and maybe therefore have some difficulties with the translation. I have tried to start from a flat drawing as presented in the picture below. I have tried to draw in as many sizes as possible but some sizes are not clear to me. Could you please confirm if the measurements in my drawing are correct? Furthermore: Can you explain your point 1 about the 3/4" off size? Can you explain both F sizes? Can you explain the 1.75" size for G How is H measured, as H1 or H2 in my drawing Maybe you can draw the answers in my drawing. Thanks, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon king Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 A picture is worth a thousand words Hope this clarifies things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny P Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi Simon, Thank you very much for clarifying by the additional remarks in the drawing. For completion I think I have three more questions if you don't mind i.e.: 1. diameter of holes in the L-brackets as a spacing for the rivets of the rifle clips 2. position of the three holes for fitting the L-brackets to the long bracket 3. how did you measure the L-brackets, like 1 or 2 in the below drawing? Would be great if you could help me with these last questions! Regards, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
