Hello all, I hope this is the correct forum for this post.
After having spent quite some time searching the internet, I decided to check if anyone on the forum could help. As you might know there appear to be 5 MG 34 related sidecar variants. The most commonly seen one these days
is the one with the MG mounted in front of the sidecar :
Although they weren't that common during the war, it does look pretty cool (I have one installed on my BMW R12 as well, and plenty of pics that prove they did exist
). Most of those lack the halterung for MG transport, Gurttrommeln and Laufschützer and the rack for 3 patronenkästen in the trunk though.
The plans for the different sidecar setups are quite easy to find, I also have a copy of D633/1 "Befestigungsvorrichtungen für M.G. 34 als l. und s. M.G. an Kradseitenwagen" which shows all parts installed in each version. However, the pics in it are of very poor quality.
I'm looking for details of one version in particular : the one intended for transporting the lafette 34 and 10 Patronenkästen :
What I found so far :
Pictures of an unfortunate R12 showing some of the special mounts for this version :
A picture kindly provided by forum member Carles, from an MG 34 manual :
And finally a recent picture found on axis history forum of a BMW R75 equipped with this sidecar (probably in the UK) , so there's at least one in existence :
I'm looking for any details, pictures, measurements, etc. of this particular sidecar variant.
I hope somebody will be able to help.
Thanks in advance,
Dominic
