robin craig Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Friend has this, there is suggestions as to what it is, I have no clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Looks like one for the FV430 series, most commonly used on 432s. Although I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleheywoodtanks Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 You are correct, it is a 432 rain hood. Good forward visibility, but nothing left or right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleheywoodtanks Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 There should be a wiper blade fitted to the pin at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic.Clay Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have a couple of 432 hoods and there are some differences from this one. The ones I have are like this current ebay offering http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Army-FV430-Series-APC-Hatch-Cover-Hood-Windscreen-FV-432-433-434-Abbot-/151897199944?hash=item235dc75548:g:f5EAAOSw8-tWWGS6 Note the cover is a plastic material not the canvas shown on this example. If it is a 430 hood it's an early model, so probably quite rare. (I acquired the second hood intending to cut away the side panels and replace them with heavy duty see through plastic - as Dale says there's zero side vision when they're fitted! Another project waiting in the barn still.) Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz48 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Look's the same as the one that came with my 432 back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
