BEFORE & AFTER

[Greg & Tony Egretz]

Just made my replica hand winch wire reel. The bones of it is of the original steel winch wire reel than added marine ply wood to the outside to look like the one in the photo (not perfect but none were and does the job) and still need to paint it camo green. Still need to make the storage holder.

Made a template for the winch reel holder and cut it out. Had to study the markes and photos carefull to get it correct. As I can't find any drawing of it for the 88" only LWB surveys. All I can the army didn't keep to KISS on this as it takes 11 piece to make it. Now to weld it all togther.

Picked up some mag clamps to help my mate who doing the welding for me. Here the first part of the reel holder mocked up to show what it will looks like.

I found two very very very good condition ex army seat backs in one of our rovers today. They will end up in my Survey. Still very soft and not cracked on the vinyl. All I did was re-hydrat the vinyl.
