Cornishbloke Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 HiI am getting around now to fitting the 2 x 353 radios into the Scorp. They sit on shockmounts and rails which in turn sit on some form of platform in the rear of the turret. The platform is supported by three risers which I have, but I don't know what the platform looks like. It has been described to me as being two strips of 1/8" steel which run across the risers and which terminate in a right angled wall on which the initiate box and adapter fit if a manpack is fitted. I assume that it is pre-drilled to take the standard radio plates (including the manpack fitting) but apart from that it is a complete guess. You don't see many pictures of the inside of Scorpions compared with Sabre, but the turrets are different so I can't compare.Does anyone out there have such a thing and would be prepared to photograph and measure so that I can make one up? Any information would be most helpful.Many thanksRichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornishbloke Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Martin - that's perfect! Now I can make a start on making one up. There's a 353 on eBay for £100 or best offer. Nothing to do with me but a good price for a working set. Many thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredkite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi Richard Quick question, where did you get the risers? I've been looking for some (on and off) for my Scorp for ages, but haven't found them yet! Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishbloke Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 HiI bought mine at Stoneleigh many years ago. I think that the xmod have some under radio (Bracket - LH - Radio Carrier - FV701594) and Support Radio Carrier - FV701593 - ISSB - you might be able to adapt for the third.CheersRichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredkite Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Cheers Richard, I'll talk to Xmod, I wonder what happened to all the R-hand ones?! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
