Nice work!  Any chance of a writeup in a word doc or PDF for the main website, some good advice there!

Haha maybe.. almost finished the centre console after weeks of building/waiting.. which has the switches for them. Apart from when I took the picture, its been very dark in my truck.. On the plus side, i found the original perentie interior light in the dash, may try and fix that as well..

Getting closer on that centre console.. So to put this in the perentie, the modifications include removing the extinguisher bracket, the rifle holder (top and bottom) and two tiny holes to mount an anderson plug behind the passenger seat. So... all entirely reversible to gs spec in about 5 minutes flat. Also, the switch console is bolted with angle brackets upside down only until my cigerette/usb port arrives, whereupon it will get a ply front face (and cb/pa installed as well)


Heres a picture of it turning the lights on

Someone asked about canopy light leakage with lights on - almost nil. And my canopy is old/threadbare (and the local canvas fixer 'wouldnt attempt to fix it' as he reckoned it would tear just feeding it into his sewing machine)

Depending on how you squint...




You might be a lucky barstard and have a photo of yours in service!
This was with 3 Platoon 8/9 RAR, posted on facebook 24-4-2010.
Sorry, that is the only copy I have, no better resolution available.

Well what a find. Very good pic.
As for the ARN... I played in photoshop with inversions etc. I'd say its 48032.

well it does look like a 0 not a 9 :( and the paint schemes different..
but it does have the same bend to the bottom scuff plate/diff saver doovie.. probably a common place to bend anything though.

Thanks for keeping a look out though!!!  8)
