"Input/output Porthole for communications/power cables installation." Is covered in AESP 2320-D-128-811 Mod Instr No.8, if on-line searches show nothing I can post odd extracts but a bit difficult at moment at WPR.

Hunted online found some other interesting documents, sent in an FOI and will wait to see what comes back

If you search the results of FOIs you should find a redacted version of all the mods. PM me if you want a copy.

Thanks to a scanned page from Clive got around today and fitted it, yippee looks good, without his help would be scratching head and getting splinters

The thing to watch though is that with coax feed coming in, the port hole obviously has to be open to a degree, but if it rains, water gets blown into the orifice & also tracks along the coax to make it wet inside. Not a massive ingress but when I sleep in the back the end of my sleeping bag would soon get soaked.

 

I have been told that in service the sock is everted when coax is used with a slight dip in the coax externally minimises wetness.

Many thanks, that is a bit further down the line, at present only want exterior to look right, internally latter maybe, but so glad to get the thing done,
