BRDM Driver Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Been adding bits to my turret but there are still some mystery missing items. Can anyone enlighten me? These bolt holes are on the commanders side, behind his left shoulder. Gunners side: Commanders side: Any info most welcome!

AlienFTM Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's been over 30 years and the canvas is blank. but my memory is screaming that the turret ring behind the commander's shoulder had some narrow trays. I was going to suggest they had inserts, maybe for something like 1" signal flares, but second thought is "no insert: good place to stick a handful of boiled sweets." Not a lot of help. Sorry.

BRDM Driver Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I posted those pics on Arrse too and got a flood of contradictory stuff back, but they seem to think there were some Stirling Mag holders back behind the commanders shoulder, but my vehicle has SA80 holders in so maybe not... Anyway, hopefully someone with a restored vehicle will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I found a clansman install diagram that shows another tee box and an ECC box (Emergency Crew Control). So that would be two more boxes. No sign of an internal loudspeaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinwcox Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This might help, later in the video is the inside of the turret of my Scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the gunners side, you have an IB3 and nothing where I have my IB2 so i guess that explains one missing item. I noticed you have this box: What is it? On the gunners side it looks pretty much the same except there might be two ARFAT's making three altogether??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRDM Driver Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm thinking this box is the ECC that takes the back up carbon mic...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm thinking this box is the ECC that takes the back up carbon mic...? It certainly has the same microphone connector as the Abbot one. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 OK, so I'll keep an eye out for one of those at Overlord next weekend! Next question, what's the 'Audio Box' and foot switch (shown in the diagram on page 4 of the CES document) for and what do they look like?

BRDM Driver Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have also been told I need a Yellow Handbag in there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have also been told I need a Yellow Handbag in there too! Just not the one that's been auto-linked! Unless there's something you want to share with us ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just not the one that's been auto-linked! Unless there's something you want to share with us ... ? Well isn't that bizarre? When I read the post two back, "yellow handbag" was highlighted and underscored and linked to a yellow handbag for sale. Now when I read my reply (one back) neither "yellow handbag" is so linked. Spooky. Sounds like a job for Scooby Doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
