Title: SRV door frames
Post by: P6X6 on June 02, 2016, 03:07:46 AM: Hello all,
After the recent auctions, I've been inspired to make some SRV style door frames and spare wheel carriers for my RFSV. Could anyone with information, photos or plans of them please post them up here. I have some some idea of how they are put together.

Was making arrangements for my car and left you hanging.
I'll post the photos and schematics up here for all to refer to.

Unfortunately, the only edtail photos I have are not so crash hot. Poor light and the door pocket hides a bit of detail.
The RPS is much more detailed with dimensions of plates etc detailed. The frames themselves are too complex to have specs listed, but they just basically fit the door hole. other measurements (wheel supports/ cross braces) can be interpolated.
Eagle eyes will see the RPS numbers do not start at 001. The missing numbers relate to the sheet prior which was for the standad (cut-down) doors. N/A for this.

Hey mate, where do I go to get the RPS?

Post by: Barefoot dave on June 04, 2016, 08:07:42 AM: Been having trouble getting the size of the images down to upload here. will have another go today.
I won't release the full rps because of real or perceived OpSec reasons.

Title: Re: SRV door frames
Post by: Barefoot dave on June 10, 2016, 08:28:31 PM: Tristan, racks and seats (missing covers) are standard original fitment. That write cutter isn't though!
I'm guessing a TT vehicle, Welby?

Post by: Barefoot dave on June 11, 2016, 04:44:37 PM: Training team.
Regular army senior members (usually sergeants) that act as the core of trainers for the battalions. In my time, they spent a lot of time in the field, so were on the best position to trial new equipment and tactics before their introduction.
As to what people would pay for a repro set; about what it would cost to make. They are a complex bit of manufacturing. Take a close look.

Post by: Welby on June 13, 2016, 09:47:49 AM: That cutter was a trial, one of 3 different designs that was put up .
driving through fence wire was more common than you would think and sometimes in the most odd spots.
