    Thanks for that.

    Just gave them a call, very helpfull. 12v. complete harness in stock, next day del. £290.85, all in all that does not sound a bad price.

    Oh my. What to do? Do I risk the old one with a few repairs?

     

    I am putting NOS wiring looms in my M151A2... it's not cheap, but at least you know it'll be right. No missing plugs, poor connections, corroded terminals, previous owner bodges etc! If you've got a new chassis, you might as well treat it to some new wires!

    VCR Act = Violent Crime Reduction Act. Realistic Imitation Firearm. There are sections on Procuring, Manufacturing, sale of Etc. All Basicaly Boll**ks, BUT, we ALL have to abide by the Law. It's a bit of a Nause, but you can legally comply with it fairly easily........:undecided:

     

    And also quite irrelevant to someone in Australia!

    I'm sure Chris didn't mean it that way - I didn't know what you were painting either!

     

    On looking I can now see that you've posted it in the American forum, but to those just viewing "New Posts" it isn't entirely obvious ... :undecided:

    Yes Andy is right, sorry if it seemed a bit harsh - but it's difficult to know how to answer a question when you only have half the info!

     

    I can't really help with ww2 US colours, but in terms of paint suppliers, if you find something the colour you want then you can get matched paint made up pretty much anywhere, otherwise try the dealers on milweb.

    Something makes me think the Mk.1 Wide-track in fact had the rotating draught (as narrow-track ?? , I don't have this model to have a look). From memory - there is a upgrade to draught (this may have made them a Mk.2)So this is something to be aware of..

     

    Wide-track trailers FV.2381 were manuf. by :-

    1. Reynolds Boughton

    2. Universal Engineering

    3. Viking Trailers (I think Mk.2 only)

    4. Arrow Construction Equip (they made the Mk.1 , IIRC some were up-graded to Mk.2 or Mk.3 & 2 struck out)

    5. Parotow

    6. King (a handfull or more)

     

     

    I had a Mk 1 Widetrack with a rotating eye. I also have a Mk 3 manufactured by Viking.

    What does this canvas cover fit

    It's dated 2002... So can't possibly be Saracen!

     

    Hi, Rich,

     

    -The fact that you say it says 'Penthouse', makes me think it is just possible it could b the Penthouse Shelter, used on the back end of Saracen Armoured Command Vehicles, -same shape as mine, but with odd wing shaped projections on the rear roof section, made of sheet metal, and designed for carrying this 'penthouse', it's associated support poles, and cam-netting. When fully set up it slightly resembles a 9x9 Command tent in appearance, only the horizontal roof support poles are telescopic, and poke backwards off the roof of the Saracen. Do you have a picture of it you could post?

    From my experience they charge you 20% of whatever the declared value is... but I've had heavy things shipped as a gift, and been charged 20% of the shipping. There's also an £8 handling fee each time, even if you only owe £1 in duty!

    Don't take this the wrong way, but nearly 2mb for a photo is far too large for this forum. You should resize photos to try and keep them to below 500kb. Large picture files take up lots of bandwith, increase the running costs of the forum and make the pages slower to load. In addition to this there are plenty of us who view the forum from mobile devices, where these problems are even worse.

     

    There are plenty of threads on here discussing software to resize photos, if in doubt there's always Google.

    Most armoured vehicles can be fitted with a image intensifier periscope for the driver. With the lamp covers fitted, when using the sight the headlamps work in much the same way as they do normally - but in infra red. I've used the one in my Sabre a few times and it's quite impressive. You can get image intensifier goggles which do the same thing.

    Just be wary if you see a User Handbook for sale. There were 4 for sale on ebay recently. My friend was disappointed to find that apart from the cover there was no Snatchy content, just a Defender UHB inside >:(

     

    I f these were the ebay ones he must have been unlucky Clive, mine contains the UHB for Truck, Utility, MED, Lightly Armoured Protected, (VPK), 4x4, LandRover.
