Bf 109G armament options.

Actually...though it is a hard conversion, the MK108 could be installed in a regular Me109 that was equipped with the 151/20. The main difference was the mount that was located on the engine itself.

The MG151 was mounted to the engine, AS WELL as on an MG151 Starre Lafette that was attached to the cockpit floor. So there were 2 main attachment points.

The MK108 ONLY mounted to the engine (with no secondary mount in the cockpit).

The ground crew would have to remove the internal 151 mount, as well as the one on the engein...then replace the engine mount to accept the MK108

Every Me109 from the G2 onwards had 2 different holes in the floor for the (ejection chutes/feeds) for the MG151 AND the MK108. So a conversion could be done.

Whether one was actually converted is a different story, however.
