I HAVE AN EARLY M8 MANTLETTE (SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD) The distance from the edge of the 37mm cannon hole to the edge of the telescope sight hole is 6 1/2 INCHES). I NEED the later Mantlette which has the distance between the edge of the 37mm gun barrel hole to the edge of the telescope hole is 4 INCHES.
I will swap even and arrange shipping.....need a steel mantlette not a cast aluminum one.....will wait about 30 days and then water jet cut the new hole and use the plug to fill in the one that is too far out for my sight mount on the M23a1 GUN MOUNT.

Hi Dan,
Do you have some pictures with measurements? What should the turret measurement be for the correct mantlet for you?
These are pictures I took of mine not long after I got it. They are not great pictures but I'd be interested to see what you have and then I will take some better pics.
