Hi everyone pulled out the new wiring harness for 112 502 made by Vintage Wiring Harness, dad bought the harness back in 2003 but I'm  very confused on the instruction that is given (it also looks like front part only)  rear wiring harness part probable going to have to make it. any ideas (help) on how to read this instruction more clearly.

Not wanting to hi-jack your thread, but maybe I should give 112-501 to my daughter who lives in Rocky View so these two could parade together  , anyway yours is starting to come together, cheers mate Dennis 

[Greg & Tony Egretz]

Greg, 112-501 is a GS, but it went to Sth Vietnam with 1RAR in June 1965, StuartK (aka Tommy) found a film archive of it being off-loaded from the Vung-Tau ferry (thanks Stuart), shame Rockhamptom is so far away, cheers mate Dennis

Ok been a while since I did work on 112 502, Here an update, Found some donor doors but didn't want to use the donor doors skins as I wanted to use 112 502 original skins. My reason is I'm trying to keep as much of 112 502 original as much as possible. Also made some stencil for 112 502, I used my troops original army stencil cutting machine photos tomorrow.

Removing 112 502 original door skins carefully

one of 2 door skins removed, need some tlc before putting on new frames.

[Greg & Tony Egretz]

They served 112 502 well but times have not been kind to 112 502 door frame. Time to say goodbye and RIP on the scrap pile.

Say hello to 112 502 new frames they well serve her well.
