Well I have started to feed the wiring back into the hull, well..... The front lights hahaha.

I have also started to setup the air duct scoop to graft the new steel back onto the original... I have the remains of an end piece that bolts to the sides of the ducts, but I am unsure as to where it is welded to the scoop if that makes sense ? Does anyone have a pic of this bit ?



I am also on the hunt for detail on the front rifle rest angle bar if anyone can help.

And finally the pintle mount bracket that mounts to the above mentioned angle bar ? If anyone has one to sell, repro or original, I would be interested.

Cheers

Richie

I'll have a look at my curved section but it may differ due to the rounded early shaped armour.

I've got a pintle mount I can measure if you like, easy to make. There was an expensive one on ebay last week. My rifle rest is very different so that won't help, sorry.

Default Mount

Richard, I can only find two here, I have one front pogo bracket on a list of carrier parts I lent Rick, if he brings them to war and peace we can fit it there, I can photo the cowl and measure the angle iron front rest part if you like.

Kevin.

Rich, what have you learned about the curved panel steel in the top of the air duct? I didn't think that any of it was welded in.
Alex D. How is your carrier progressing? Maybe a separate thread?
