Hello All

I am in the final stages of my halftrack restoration and I am requiring the dimensions of the support tube for the rear of the gun ring. Any help would be appreciated. Photos to follow when i can get the grandchild to do the technical bit. Many thanks Halftrack

I'd like to bump this thread...

 

I have an M15A1 that I'm converting to an M3A1. I am still in the rebuild process after tearing down to the frame, but I need this info as well. I have the ring and all the brackets, except for the support tube.

 

Thanks, Tom

I looked at an M3A1 about 2 weeks ago and got these measurements. Not sure if the support is original or not though as there were several modifications/reproduced parts on the track. Can anyone verify these?

 

Scan of my measurements (missing two measurements for bolt holes):
