Apologies,

FRC8194 appears as Rover type axle in the Snatch Illustrated Parts Catalogue.

I have managed to establish the following from earlier TRUCK ARMOURED PATROL 4X4 LAND ROVER Commercial Parts List:-

Swivels and hubs are pre- Defender items as stated earlier

Unique steering arm and Panhard rod as stated earlier

Unique axle case FRC8192

Differential is identical to 110 rear differential

Plus the following unique parts:-

FRC7580 Axle shaft c/w CV joint RH

AEU2522 CV Joints

RTC3946 Inner drive shaft RH

FRC7581 Axle shaft c/w CV joint LH

RTC3947 Inner drive shaft LH

FRC8337 Swivel pin bearing housing c/w bush

FRC8219 Oil seal swivel pin housing

Hope this helps.

FRC8194 is not a Salisbury axle but a Heavy Duty version of the Rover front axle and is fitted to Snatch 1 and 1.5s (V8 engines)

Gross Vehicle Weight:3750kg

NSN 2540 99 809 0414 was superseded by 46MT13 8340 99 904 4014 (just re-numbered really) which is described thus:-

COVER ,WATERPROOF SPECIAL LENGTH 18.00 FEET NOMINAL PEAK HEIGHT 12.667 NOMINAL

CANVAS BIVOUAC TANK COVER (5 MEN); SUPPLIED WITH ROPES,TENT PINS AND POLES AND EYELETS ,COTTON

So it looks like it is a tank shelter.

Incidentally the above NSN has been superseded by 46MT13 8340 99 136 1962 which is part of a shelter included in the Challenger 2 CES (Complete Equipment Schedule).

UIN N5618N is 1710 (FORWARD SUPPORT) NAVAL AIR SQUADRON Currently based at HM NAVAL BASE PORTSMOUTH previously based at Fleetlands, Gosport, Hants.

Hello,

I'm Steve from Telford - I own a Land Rover 110 GS and my job involves NATO Stock Numbers , hence my User Name.

Concentric connection is outlet to intercooler, right angle conection is inlet (from raised air intake)

Filter is mounted horizontally at an angle to the engine using mounting/interface bracket (NSN 7XD 4330 99 958 0470 or locally manufactured) fitted to the adapted existing air cleaner mounting bracket.

You're right about the clogged filter bypass.

Don't know about the small externally threaded pipe.

According to the EMER:

RADIAC SYSTEM

The system provides for the detection and measurement of the radiation dose rate, and monitoring of the radiation hazard to the crew , while reconoitring in areas which may be contaminated by nuclear burst.

The equipment comprises external (this might be the mast) and internal detectors, a control and display unit and interconnecting harnesses.

It's part of the Bowman Installation

Phil,

Part no. for lead (CABLE ASSEMBLY) is 5300-12 ,NSN 7XD 2590 99 771 5298.

Looks like you've got most of the Battery Box Assembly judging by the photos posted on EMLRA Forum!

Looks like your battery box was mis-labelled as 7XD 6160 99 201 5316 - this is BOX RADIO BATTERY Part no. RRC8699 to contain 4 radio batteries.

Nobody seems to have bothered to sort out the correct NSN ,and instead written it off and disposed of it.

The box and table you have are:- 7WMK 6160 99 730 8304 (part no.5300-249) BOX BATTERY and 2540 99 562 5226 (part no.5330-049) TABLE RADIO ,which are part of 7XD 6160 99 274 6694 BOX,BATTERY ASSEMBLY , which is part of the WMIK INSTALLATION KIT.

This battery box arrangement was also fitted to some TUL FFRs (Installation Instruction No2)

Have further information if interested .

Dosn't look like usual battery box/radio table in 90's and 110's,with 4 batteries under the radio table - 2 each side on slide out trays

Likely it's the small battery box which contains 2 batteries (NSN 6160 99 733 8304) and table(part no.13386-032) as fitted to WMIKS and TUM FFRs to the side of the rear bucket seat.

These trousers are still available for issue - they appear in JSP768 Operational Clothing Catalogue as TROUSERS, COMBAT Woodland DPM,Windproof.NSNs 8415-99138-0797 to 0809 SAS Only with the additional information "Not for general issue - Special Forces only".

According to the Specification these trousers are made from a woodland DP cotton gaberdine fabric, designed for wear with Smock ,Combat, Windproof, Woodland DP to Specification DC/MS/4431. The size schedule provides for twelve sizes and an outsize.

Both the DPM trousers and DPM smock are being replaced by Multi Terrain Pattern versions, so perpetuating a 30 year or so design.

In the Introduction of the Operating Instructions for RWMIK/RWMIK Plus :-

"RWMIK Plus is an upgrade scheme, whereby a number of SNATCH, VIXEN or RWMIK vehicles have been heavily modified in a number of areas to upgrade this vehicle in line with current in service vehicles".

3 RAVP HQ RCT TA

Assuming UIN for above is A0823B ,then whilst I can't determine what 3 RAVP stands for

HQ RCT TA is Head Quarters Royal Corps of Transport Territorial Army this UIN was active 20 January 1983 to 05 April 1993.

The address of HQ RCT TA (UIN:A0823A) was :-

Prince William of Gloucester Barracks

Grantham

Lincolnshire

NG31 7TJ

Now HQ Royal Logistics Corps TA

I served with 161 Ambulance Regiment (V) 1988 to 1991 based at Prince William of Gloucester Barracks driving Land Rover ambulances of various vintages.

Ted ,you're right!

Walked over to DSG B Vehicle Park this afternoon and found several TITHONUS Land Rovers - with registrations ranging from xxKExx to xxKJxx - obviously their original ERNs.

I know that giving the vehicles new Asset Codes and NSNs whilst retaining their original Registrations has caused problems regarding these vehicle's details held on JAMES , the Asset Management System but cannot at present find out whether their Vehicle Histories as held on MERLIN are affected.

Apologies for duff info

Steve.

All Land Rovers that have been through the TITHONUS Life Extension Programme (LEP) are given new Nomenclature ,Nato Stock Number and Asset Code and will therefore require a new Equipment Registration Number for MERLIN.

For instance

TRUCK UTILITY MEDIUM GS CARGO SOFT TOP 12V,4X4,2.5 LTR LAND ROVER 110 DEFENDER

NSN:2320 99 893 7004 ASSET CODE:NB17103103

Following LEP becomes

TRUCK UTILITY MEDIUM GS CARGO SOFT TOP 12V,4X4,2.5 LTR DSL LAND ROVER 110 DEFENDER LEP

NSN:2320 99 908 7417 ASSET CODE:NB17103113

Hope this explains their "new" identities.

Steve.
