0 sirhc Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Looks like a standard 109 FFR. If it is 24 volt then it is FFR. If it it 12 volt it doesn't mean it's a CL, as there were standard 109 GS vehicles too. Those civi rear cross members were sometimes fitted in service, and quite often fitted after disposal.

0 richardrosser Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 yep she has full 24 volt, still has the shunt and geni on the bulkhead :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fv1609 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Those civi rear cross members were sometimes fitted in service, Yes this is true. There was no Land Rover part for a miltary rear cross member. I know there are companies that make repro ones. But these would not be available to the MOD who could only use the Land Rover made civi one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AlienFTM Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Interesting mix of indicator and stop / tail lenses. Big, flat (post about 1985?) indicator lenses and small domed stop / tails. Not a criticism - merely an observation. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 richardrosser Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 urm - new to the military side of things so bug eyes are after 1985 :? if thats the case as she was de-mobbed 1985 should i put the "normal" lenses on her - no criticism taken, any advice taken :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rapier rob Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 From experience, if it was in the parts bin and it fitted, it went on! So your 109 could be a mixture of bits, it depends on who and how many people rattled spanners on it. Looks good to me! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
