da bomb Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Its either a gaiter for a gear/brake lever.....or it goes around the barrel of a weapon at the point it pokes out of a vehicle. But then again, maybe its not!! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Shroud to fit around a Scorpion gunshield to guide empty cases into the empty case bin on the turret floor? Not convinced, just vaguely familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If it's 2 ft from top to bottom in the photo then the narrow end must wrap around something about 8 inch in circmference or 2.5 inch in dia and about 7.5" dia at the wide end. If it's not a mantlet cover or a muzzle brake cover then maybe around the base of a clarke mast??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Canvas gaiter over the ram that elevates the Malkara launchers??? Yup well done Neil. It looks a funny colour as that is a mixture of rain & hydraulic fluid over it. The material was a little bit greyer & stronger than the original which is in the first photo. This one I had to make & stiching canvas was a pain I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
