That then figures as to why they have been removed. Thanks for your reply sirhc.

Thanks john. Its a shame they strip them out. but as you say' ive not seen any bowman only clansman. They would add the finishing touch to the wimik if or when they're released. Cheers Alan

Please can anyone tell me which radios were fitted to the vehicle. Theres so much wiring in this vehicle i dont have a clue as to what or where things would go. Thanks Alan

I had a chat with the armourer at work today, apparently the UGM or Universal Gun Mount as fitted to Mastiffs and Huskies will take either GPMG or 50 cal. The only problem is that they are in current use so finding one for sale could be difficult.

Thanks john. If you hear of one thats available please let me know. Cheers Al.

There were a few Israeli cradles floating about at one time. I call them a Multi Mount.

They will accept: a .30" Cal MG, A .50" Cal HMG & a MAG58 / GPMG. And also had an attached Ammo Box Holder. 

It would be FAR easier to acquire one of these. & modify to fit the vehicle weapon mounting socket I would suggest.

I searched for some images of an example for you Alan. But couldn't locate any.

They have Hebrew makings in three locations. Stamped on the side, so the user would know what position to adjust the mount to. The adjuster was a 'T' handle under spring Pressure. You pulled the handle out, & rotated the cradle to the desired position. & released the handle to lock the cradle in position. For the desired gun to be mounted. very simple, rugged. & like most things Israeli. Well thought out!

Thanks ferretfixer. Ive got to have one of those. Or I'll get some sort of heath robinson type of mount made. That one you describe would be perfect for the job. Cheers Al.

I highly doubt it. The mounting point holes are in a vastly different position, for each weapon. 

You've confirmed my thoughts there. Looking like I'll have to get one made.

Hi there everyone. Does anyone know if the browning 50cal machine gun would fit onto  the gpmg mount? I cant find a 50cal mount for the wimik fir love nor money. Any advice or help much appreciated. Cheers Al.

Paints arrived today. So fingers crossed it'll be a good match.

You shouldn’t have to look hard, any paint supplier can mix that colour for you, or try eBay.

Ive gone on Ebay and ordered it thanks. Alan.

Cheers mate I'll have a look for some.

Hello everyone' can someone please tell me the correct name or code for the paint on the rwmik desert colour landrover. Ive had some made up but its not the best match i must say. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Alan.

Cheers phil I'll check that one out. Thanks for the reply Alan.

If anybody has a steel one for sale please let me know. Thanks.

Hi chris whats the condition of the  engine? Will it be a total strip down and complete rebuild? Best wishes with it Alan.

 Hi john ive Found a pic of the other side cheers Alan.

Hi john and thanks for the reply. This is the same side at another angle. I think it attaches to the 2 allen bolts near the top. If not I'll get a pic of the ther side asap. Cheers Alan.

Hello everyone. Please can someone tell me where i can get an ammo tray and bracket for my gun mount from? Much appreciate any help. Alan.

Good advice fv1609. As we are not using the vehicle  at the moment due to no cab. And like you say it'll prevent battery drain. They are a funny old beast as they have standard lights on the front plus infrared. and led lights at the rear. Cheers Alan.

Hi fv1609 the top pic is the main batts and bottom pic is radio batts ive switched the isolater on and will now get another 24v trickle charger. Btw it starts a treat. Thanks again' Alan.
