Bunbury (WA) RSL need a Leo bit...
 

Hi

Looking to help out Gerry T. at the Bunbury WA RSL Military Collection.

He's keen to aquire a Leopard I engine Piston.

He's had a big "Negative" from the Oz Army and had asked my Regt for help. I had to do some digging but the end result was the same answer; "No'. We have just divested ours a few months ago.

If anyone can help me or knows Gerry and can help, feel free to contact us. I'm pretty sure he has either a limited or non-existant budget for this so please take that into account.

Any help appreciated.

regards

Have you tried Tim Vibert.

The army cut the engines up rather than sell them off so its really hard to get bits.

I had a quick look at the part numbers for this item: Mercedes pn 8370306517, Nato Stock number 2815-12-158-7451, and here is the shocker: the price for each is $1,007.50. They will definitely be wanting to find that surplus somewhere.

I knew I had seen a complete pack on the net somewhere and for whatever reason the grey cells clicked and it is Toronto Scientific. They have a complete rebuilt pack, although the price is "contact for price.

Hi

I thank you both for your ideas and input. I believe Gerry said he knew MLU Forum so I will steer him toward this thread. Unsure if he knows Tim V. or not, Gina but thanks. I did steer him to Doug Greville's website.

A whole pack is not likely the option here for this RSL collection, Rob. I ran the part #s as far as Montreal and the price for the whole assembly complete goes at $4K+. Thereby prompting a DPM(Mat) answer of "No". :eek:

105mm Barrel slices are a much better souvenir but like casings, that has become boring with 120mm (smoothbore and combustible case). :whinge

Check with prefair in Montreal. I recall them having some packs available, but I think they were APC. With those guys though you never know.

Hi Rob

Thanks.

Hi

Looks like that Montreal will be able to supply this after all. Now just to await it's arrival.

Thanks.
