Are SIIA, SIII and Perentie tool mounting brackets the same across the range or are there differences?
-
I thought the perentie had a different shovel hea mount, otherwise virtually the same
-
Yeah Perentie shovel mount different, a bit higher and a steel rod across the top not flat steel.
-
I bought some recently and I'm wondering what they're from.
-
I have a Perentie axe head 'cross' clamp with wingnut and two wooden handles brackets with wingnuts. Thats the same function brackets on a drivers side on a Series 2/3.
It looks so similar to the Series 2A/3 bracket, but I do see that in horizontal profile, both brackets' flat bar that bolts to the bodywork has a slight curve to match the slight curve of the Perentie bonnet aka hood.

My 48-010 has flat steel, not the rod. I've noticed that almost all other Perenties have the rod. It would be interesting to find out when the changeover was.
-
IIRC, early 2A FFT with tools behind the seat are a little different as well
-
A little birdy told me that the changeover was in 87, as there was a change in the shovel used, and it hit the bonnet without spacing the bracket up from the bonnet. redesigned the bracket and the washers were no longer needed.

I do wish I knew where you found those little birdies of yours :)
The best I could do is watch some Bush Tucker Man; series one (48-001) has the shovel mount like mine, series two ("LR 254") has the rod mount.
