RecyMech Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Evening all.... Bit of a long shot here, but its a plea for ANY information on the FV432 - Wombat mounting kit. Has anyone here seen one, served on one, got any paperwork, manuals, drawings, photographs of exactly what is involved in the conversion package ??? PLEASE. Happy to cover any costs of copies involved. Tried School of Inf Warminster, very helpful on the weapon itself but they had nothing on 432 mounting. I've read brief descriptions about ramps, a winch, & ammo stowage. I have a couple of external pics lifted from t'interweb but nothing that gives any concrete info on exactly how it was hauled up through the mortar hatch, secured in position in action, & stowed away out of action. All comments & replies welcome on here, or by PM, or can be e mailed direct to Howard @ KFS kfs1@btinternetcom Many thanks all. Howard.

andym Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 It's in one of the supplements at the back of the FV432 User Manual, I think. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all the info you need is in there. Try Vintage MV Manuals - they're the best for copies of manuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 "It's in one of the supplements at the back of the FV432 User Manual, I think". I was hoping it might be....but its not in any of the manuals that I've downloaded already. Would you have a link possibly to a pdf that might cover it ? Failing that I'll give VVM a try. Cheers lads I knew someone would come up with a solution. Regards..........Howard @ KFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Just a quick one. A public thankyou to andym, who despite not being at home base, went out of his way to send me copies of the Wombat Role supplement I was after.:thanx: Also to Clive (fv1609) for pointing me in the right direction regarding EMERS for it should the supplement not have what I was after.:bow: As it happens Dougy on FV432.co.uk beat Andy to it by a few hours with the supplement.:banana: Which all goes to prove that there are a lot of helpful people on this forum & its rare not to get a good response to a question or plea for info. Genuine thanks all round. Howard @ KFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Also to Clive (fv1609) for pointing me in the right direction regarding EMERS for it should the supplement not have what I was after.:bow: If you need a copy of an EMER, give me the reference number and I'll see what I can do.

RecyMech Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Many thanks Robert. Clive also gave me your contact so you were my next fall back anyway Hopefully I'll be able to deduce what I need from the supplement (piccy worth a thousand words & all that) but if I get stumped...... Say hello to Brian Baxter for me. Regards......Howard @ KFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
