spandau mounts

[sheppo]

Gday all

It appears a dimension off a drawing has disappeared (It was coffee but lets not go there....)
Im making the jig for the forward gun mounts on the Dva and have everything except the upper fork 'depth'.
Seen from side on (port or starboard) does anyone have a measurement for this sturdy U shaped steel mount?
Im assuming Idfleig had a standardthat albatros would have used and that I can apply.


Cheers in advance

I have two sizes:

The 3mm material:
30mm Wide
40mm flange length (both sides) with a 15mm radius top edge
the distance between the flanges was 60mm with a 6mm bend radius.

The 5mm Material:
40mm Wide
40mm flange length (both sides) with a 20mm radius top edge
the distance between the flanges was 75mm with a 10mm bend radius.

I beleive the hole in the flanges were 20mm diameter centered in the top radius.

This is what I got from Langdon on his mounts he's using.

thanks for that, the 40mm makes sense and does ring a bell. The dva used the 5mm material.

Now that I don't know, Lagdon gave me his drawing of just the mount so I could cut them for him. The only thing I don't know is this was the same because Langdon building a D.VIII. I beleive he said to use 5mm material. I had 7 gage material instead.
