Top Bow bracket hole size...

Post by Jeff_Lee »

I am recovering the military holes in my M38 tub that have been welded up by PO's.

For the large 3 bolt topbow brackets that fit on the quarterpanels, what is the diameter of the wing bolt clearance hole? Looks like it is about 1", but want to check if somebody can give me a original dimension.

Thanks, Jeff
