Lauren Child Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There's a line of bolts across the top into the bulkhead. I remember those when we were looking at it, but they didnt seem to release anything that wasn't welded in some other spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fadedsun Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 So......Are you restoring it back to it's Iraqi service days or something else? Matt As close as I can with exceptions for practicality. The gaz41 engine and trans will get removed and replaced with a diesel and an auto transmission at some point in the future. Does anyone know where I can get gaz41 head gaskets? mine are bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW200 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I hope you won't mind me asking, but do you know how much a BRDM-2 weighs empty and how much loaded (fuel etc)? Seeing as you had yours shipped I'm sure they've weighed it or so Wikipedia says 7700kg but not if that's combat weight or empty weight..

Lauren Child Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just a follow up : you can definitely take the top off, so I was mistaken. It's more tricky than it looks though due to linkages to the leuvres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
