M31C data plate location?

Post by wc56daveyboy » Thu Jun 08, 2023 6:37 pm

Anyone know the proper location of the M31C data plate?

Bought a repop mount. Then a really nice repop brass data plate for it

But!!

Where does it go on the upright tube?

Distance from top of socket?
Or the tube?

I could not locate the information when I installed the data plate on my M31C pedestal, but this diagram could get you closer than I got.

Thank you for that

I found this post, right here..

I tried it and it looks pretty decent for me!

I used some vintage press in rivets on mine and I like the look.

Hopefully this helps others.

Measured my data plate on the M31C mount on my 42 GPW. The mounting holes measure 26 1/2” from the top of the floor mounting plate. Data plate faces toward the windshield. Hope this helps.
