Toner Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Bugger, I thought it would be safe to say that to someone from the UK. So what is wrong about Brit? Nothing wrong with calling someone from the UK a Brit as that includes the 4 nations that make up the majority of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Nothing wrong with calling someone from the UK a Brit as that includes the 4 nations that make up the majority of it. Here in Poland a Brit is someone who spends his/her time in some form of 'Brit' ghetto or social life. I, on the other hand, distance myself from such people as I have 'gone native', and in so doing have gained the remarkable skill of enjoying the local cuisine, and when I say 'I am going home' I always mean I am returning to my apartment and never 'back to the UK'. :-D. What running gear did the original LSV use? trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protacman Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 A while ago I went to an auction of RAF equipment and bought some Vehicle spares.... yes.. Did not buy a Lynx.. Want one though. So I'm using these parts on this project. This is a bump stop from an unknown current Vehicle As you can see I cut the required section out and welded it in place.

protacman Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I used a Supacat tail gate which fitted exactly between the cab and rear platform I cut the platform to allow greater access to the Engine bay and used ring bolts as tie down points ,they also secure the plates. ( I got 4 of these tailgates ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
