Hi all, Can someone tell me the difference from the above mounts? Would a white scout car ring accept any of the above trolleys? Thanks, Rob

Doing some searches on line shows that the M30 and/or M35 is the correct trolley for a scoutcar. Starting roughly behind the doors the skate rail on the scoutcar tilts upwards to the windshield. This is one reason scoutcar skate rails are so difficult to make. The socket on the trolley will actually tilt side to side to compensate this. Not sure what the differences is between the M30 and M35. Maybe early and late production or M1917 cradle vs. 30/50 cradle. The M49 trolley is for the circular M49 or M49C ring. I cold not find anything on a M20 trolley. I will have to look in another book I have.
