armor plate => pulpit armor => Topic started by: SgtKish on April 19, 2023, 11:26:34 PM

I am making a pulpit on this ground up rebuild and it will be my first pulpit build. My other track doesn't have one. So if anyone could help me with a few measurements it would help tremendously.
I need to know how tall the front armor plate is, as well as how long, and where the bend starts over the passenger door. How tall is the pole that supports the back, and width/diameter of the pole? Also the hight and length of the back plate that bends around the ring and mounts to the pole? Another big one is how far down does the bottom of the front armor plate overlap the windshield ? I have so many more questions, but if I can get those answers it can at least get me started and I may be able to figure the rest out. Thanks a lot guys for the help.

Mark,
I have measurements of the pole from an M3A1 I looked at years ago in New York. I'll try to find them tonight or tomorrow. I don't have any actual pulpit armor measurements though...
Some of the west coast guys were tied up this past week with a MV meet in California, so they nay not have seen this yet. Be patient with your request...there are a lot of knowledgeable guys on here but not everyone has notifications set up, or visit the site less often with a lot of people shifting to Facebook.

Found 'em. See attached for support pole measurements. These are off of an original M3A1.
The dimensions that I posted in the G503 thread above (https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=196412&p=1146209&hilit=pulpit+measurements#p1146209) were from a nice but unknown M3A1. They are close but not the same as what is in the attached scan...not sure if I would trust them.
