Richard Farrant Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looks like the first 432 has broken torsion bar(s) on nearside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yep, deffo some broken torsion bars I'd say. And judging by the tracks... maintenance is not a top priority. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecyMech Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pimped & Lowered.......... Funny you should say that........I always fancied a 432 with chromed road wheels & sprockets, metallic paint job, plexi glass dome over the mortar hatch, cocktail cabinet, quad stereo, leopard skin interior, water bed & wide screen TV.:nut: No ? just me then:blush: (too much Starsky & Hutch maybe ?):cool2: H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We had a "Pig" with a dome and later a Sultan with a dome. Both in an active TA Role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yep, deffo some broken torsion bars I'd say. And judging by the tracks... maintenance is not a top priority. H Yeap, tracks w/o pads & busted headlights (all of them?!). Given the condition of this one, would be surprised if it didn't end up as a STUG III/Pz.III VisMod... Seems to be the unfortunate fate of a lot of FV432s.. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just out of interest, what is the minimum number of torsion bars that a 432 can operate on? It must get to a point where the others can't keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Oddly enough they only seem to convert the really nice, freshly ABRO'd 432s into Stugs! And if I were crushing cars (which I don't) I wouldn't use a 432 with decent track pads either .... :-) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCMatt Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Andy I don't think that one has bad track pads, I don't think it has any track pads! Right you are about only the really nice 432s ending up as VisMods... Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 You're better off without them unless you're on tarmac, and especially if you're on cars! :-) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
