I had all four pieces measured at one time then my fabricator lost the file on his computer. I do have two original pieces to remeasure and will try and salvage the others. I will try and have something together in the spring. I've been to busy at work.

It has been a while since this topic was started, figured I would resurrect it! I made models of the track armor based on the dimensions i have for the bed and body armor.  I think they are close but I know they are not correct and probably missing some holes. Is there some one who can take a look and validate or correct the measurements? If I can get confirmed dimensions I will correct the files and put them back up on here with associated DRW files.

So i am still looking for a good set of plans or the actual track armor pieces for the M2. I'm looking to buy a set from the vendor in Plainfield Illinois dependent opon shipping costs but I'm guessing it is going to be ridiculous since they us FedEx freight. So if any one has some plates near AZ I would be interested. I would prefer drawings to make my own and will be willing to hire some one to make said drawings if any one is interested.

I finally Got a hold of 3 original track plates. I was missing the rear horizontal plate. So that one is based off the hole locations in the angle plates. The other 3 pieces are based off of original plates and are within about 1/32nd".  These are by no means museum quality but will look fine to most people. If any one finds an issue or missing hole feel free to let me know.
