8/2/1 is a reasonable approximation.

Note that the side armour when hit at angles of attack of 60' and
more has an effective strength more like 8 than 2. A reasonable
(though not strictly accurate) approximation is that all attacks
coming through the forward 90' arc hit frontal armour. A better
approximation is that all attacks coming through the frontal
60' hit frontal armour, BUT you must take into account the angle
