I tend to hang onto these things.
I plan to get some touch up paint and do some work on the bonnet - and find some legal way to refit them.
Same as the blackouts.
I work for a military museum - so it may end up on a vintage club registry.
For now at least - rego appointment 3pm tomorrow. Should have plates soon if all goes to plan.

Not mine and it was last weekend, but...
Prepping a S3 tropical roof and sides for a new Perentie life. Tutorial soon and roof for sale.
Also getting the 'Civvy Peretie' ready for sale, see markets;
Well it didn't get done last week, but yesterday I did fit the second operators seat then matched all the camo paint lines on the antenna brackets and then fitted up a couple of MX-6707 ATU for the GRC-160 and AB-652/GR for the GRC-106 (the second one paired with an RFI CDQ-5000 for the Icom 450N).Quote:

As with a fez, stacks are cool ;)
a double stack of GRC-160/VRC-524 would be about the same height as the GRC-106.
The problem with the Perentie is that (unlike the SIII FFR) is that you can't mount a pair of tables on the LHS without first moving the power distribution box, and (while it's not strictly military) I'd like to leave a space on the RHS so I can carry my small Engel fridge which is about the same size as one of the radio tables.
Which riveted ones?Quote:

Only attachment I was allowed was the end of the shovel holder, as it "looks like a bonnet handle"
Classified as "protruding edges"
All the same, the bolts were loose and the grit and gavel was destryoing my already bent and damaged bonnet.
Got some work to do first. They may reappear one night about mignight...

Could be the drugs talking, but is there anyway you can fit the same brackets using the same holes -under- the bonnet? Is there engine clearance? Can the wood handles take the engine heat?
The Brits mount their gardening tools on the tailgate. Not much use on an FFR though. The other option is to mount them like the SIIa FFT where the tools were mounted behind the front seats (the same brackets are fixed to a couple of mounting bars).
