Measurements - M38 ax ubolt

Post by Texbillhs »

I'd be happy if someone would measure the distance apart the holes are for the ax ubolt. I am going the make one - should be a simple bending and threading job - I have a good picture, except I don't have the dimensions.

Check out page 10 on RickG photo page. He was kind enough to take some measurements for me at the time I made mine.

It needs to be about 1" longer though than what is shown.
Here is my post when I made mine.

Turns out the bracket i dimensioned was a cheesy repop
that's too short-be sure to add the extra length :roll:
