Gun rack mounting holes

Bretto · Post by **Bretto** » Tue Dec 31, 2013 2:04 pm

I was graciously offered a great deal on a rifle rack from Oilleaker (John). I am almost to the point of mounting it but some goofnut

welded the holes up on the windshield frame. Does or could someone provide a map and measurement of where the four holes for the center and right brackets are? The pillar holes are still present.
I think however if I weren't able to get what I need, I could mount the brackets to the rack and find the holes that way but it would be nice to have them exactly where they should be.

I also have to say thanks to RickG for the pillar bracket to.

Thanks all,
Brett

Goofnut?? You're bein a little rough on yourself Bro. We all pull
a "DO'H!!" now and then.
I saw the before and after pics of the scabbards and
gotta say "Well Done".
I'll get some prelim coordinates this PM, and with the brackets
on the scabbard you should nail it dead on.

If Rick fails you,

, I can back you up. I doubt you will be left hanging. I too, want to say good job on the racks. If you guys need brought up to speed, Bubba cut the middle of the two rifle racks and turned up the edges and welded a flat metal cap on the top edges. We assume they were to allow a scoped rifle into each rack. They both were then painted fire engine red. YUK!!!!!!!! Anyway they are saved from certain death and brought back to Green Disease specs. A job well done. They sure look good filled up with real M1's! John

Nice work. Interesting how the different lighting changes the paint color from green/grayish to brown/olivish.
