Rick W Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Similar to the Champ question. There is a rather dog-eared looking Ferret on Ebay and Milweb that is missing some components, like escape hatch doors gear lever etc, whats the availability of these bits and pieces?

sirhc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Rick, You'd need to find someone who is breaking one for bits like the escape hatches. There aren't anywhere near as many Ferret parts about as there were a few years ago when I did mine, but things do turn up from time to time.

Rick W Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 There is one breaking on Milweb at the moment but its a Mk2 Ferret, was there a difference in the hulls between the Mk1 and Mk2s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I can only see a Mk 4 being broken. All marks have the same hull, the Mk 4 has different wheel stations, wings, bins etc. The escape hatches will also be different as no spare wheel is carried.

ferrettkitt Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The MK 2 is under armour on Milweb its also the one on e-bay. Pictures here also http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/vehicle_register_page_2.htm#01DC00 Marcus Glenn is selling the one from Withams very very empty inside when I had a look at it.

sirhc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes I noticed that the Mk 2 was the same one, I guessed this was the one Rick was interested in. Also noticed that (expensive) Ferret Marcus has for sale wasn't that great when it went through the tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 The Marcus Glenn one seems a bit pricey, especially when you add the VAT. (Minus the 2.5%, you are oh so generous Mr Darling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john fox Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have spare hull side escape hatches I picked up years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
