If you have the mount you have the measurements. The holes have to line up with the holes in the mounting bracket just measure them and you have your measurements.
There is one nut on a M151 that is very difficult to remove.....

Enrique,

why didn't you say it was you....right from the start. Of course I remember you, and Jorge Viola also.

I've also been contacted by another Uruguayan mutt owner, Bruce Pelocorto....he has bought a mutt that has been very greatly modified by a previous owner, but he hopes to restore it to original.

If it's ok, I can put him in touch with you and your group.....
Meanwhile, as soon as I get a reply about the bracket, I will get back to you...
Kind regards....

Muttland,

I took the bracket back with me to the UK as I did not have the time to measure it when I was in the Philippines.
Do you still need the measurements?

I don't have a sophisticated measuring tool and I only used a ruler. Here are the measurements
Just use the holes on your jerry can mount for items B and D. Where do you plan to install yours? Passenger or driver's side?
Note that the inner bracket will be different depending on which side you mount it. Good luck

A - 7 5/16 in

B- ?

C- 4 3/4 in

D- ?

E- 11/16 in

F- 1 in

G- 3/8 in

H- Not exact but its about 2mm or 1/16?
