Even these 2 aussie plates have different numbers 501/502 and the GS is missing on one.

The 5.02 is the "model number" - REMLR has the model numbers as 5.02 for the first half of ARNs and 5.2 for the later ones but I think that may have been a typo and they should all be 5.02.Quote:

I cannot answer your questions on this as like all things military there are inconsistencies everywhere.
I assume you are familiar with the 101 ARN page on REMLR http://www.remlr.com/ARN/ARNs_101.php
So is the 101 you have now 12v or still 24v?
Garry
24 volt military suppressed ignition systems use 12 volts at the coil regardless of the vehicle battery voltage.Quote:

Would be good to get a few more data plate pictures on the site and matched to the arns/ owners. Gaz

Fitted a new clutch hose so i could drive the old girl off the trailer. unlocked the hubs and no drive, front shaft turning so i guess its not modded to part time after all. so the free wheeling hubs look pretty but will prob come off. started to clean up some wiring and will start removing the gas setup tomorrow.

Did you try locking and unlocking the CDL and see what happens. If it was actually modded for part time how do you engage 4wd? There should be a lever like other series LRs in the cabinQuote:

I would take the gas off mine as well, but here in the ACT the vehicle has to go the the Government inspection station to have the gas removal engineered. There is no way I want a 101 near a Government inspection station.

If it was part time you would just operate the cdl on and off for it it to be 2wd /4wd. at the moment one of the hoses to the cdl is missing so thats another job to add to the list. i liked the handling of my old one with constant 4x4 so will set it up as it should be for now. less dramas for rego inspection.If the gas system was plated and modern i would probably keep it but its ancient and the tanks are way to big. to get it tested/inspected etc would be more drama than its worth. I just want it to be stock and basic to get it passed inspection then i can add the gear i want onto it later. Gaz

To answer your other question
The 4 litre tin of Protec paint
Attachment 157514
And the spraycan
Attachment 157515
4 litres (is cheap) is more than enough to do a 101 and probably the inside as well. Spraycans are great for all the touchups etc.
