Very nice display-thanks for the pics.As you will have noticed by now,you have to post your pics in reverse order on this site to get them in the correct order.It took me a while to figure that out. :oops: ---bil

Yes it appears that the orig MG34 adaptor has a longer bracket than the repro being made.

Thats very nice. If I could get the exact measurements..........I wouldnt mind trying to make one. I know it would be alot of work but I am taking a welding/metal working class real soon and this could be a very nice project. But I would need the exact measurements, thinkness of the steels/metals, and such.

Forget making the connector piece unless your an experienced machinist.You need a lathe and a milling machine with a rotary table.
