robin craig Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What help do you need? I have a flotation screen that I have salvaged if you need parts from it like cables and fittings. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 What help do you need? I have a flotation screen that I have salvaged if you need parts from it like cables and fittings. Robin Dear, The complete flotation screen has been removed before we got it, so we are looking for the entire screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Dear Max, The one I have came from a Scorpion so it is not the same. If there is any of the small parts you need I will take it off mine. Sorry I can not supply you the right one Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 15/19H got our Sultans hmm — must have been early 1980. By mid 1982 we were tearing off the flotation screens from the Scorpions at least. Somebody had finally clicked that none of the floatable rivers in the corps area actually had banks that would allow you float a CVR(T). It was becoming apparent that firing a Scorpion caused damage to the front of the screen (even though there was a hardened cover over the front half). I cannot say for certain that we ever bothered removing the screens from the Sultans (that only sealed off the engine and driving compartments: the rest of the vehicle was naturally buoyant without the need for a screen).
