I thought they could be fitted, much like the SRV.Quote:

I believe that he plans to build a Shoreland replica, hence the cupola.
Mick, as Juddy says, the RFSV roofline is a product of a centrally placed rear facing seat for the patrolman.
No potential for a gun ring and certainly not a cupola. Not even a pintle mount for a mmg!
The SRV has a gun ring a little heavier duty than that found on the roof of a 6x6 iimv (troopcarrier).
My efforts this saturday so far have been:
Water proof canvas.
(Up at 4am for 80mm downpour to check for leaks in house and perentie)
Discovered water leaking through foot pedal holes and passenger foot well.
Un-bent roof rails and secured them with nylocks.
Positioned canvas correctly on sides.
Gasket gooed damaged upper door seals.
Discovered water leaking inside from door tops. Ex-mil mechanic suggested drilling drain holes and plugging factory ones.
Refitted windscreen mounts after some tlc.
Purchased sand blasting kit and 10kg of garnet for bullbar repaint.
Discovered crack in bonnet. Arranged a favor to get it welded.
Adjusted tail gate.
Two more tins of fish oil into hard-to-reach rusty areas.
Roof rack rubbers replaced and resealed.
Bonnet rubbers ordered.
Still have not replaced output shaft seal. Weather has been too poor.

Dropped into the Gippsland Armed Forces Museum today (of which I am a volunteer) and borrowed tge work-for-the-dole slave and removed the bull bar for a sand blast and re-paint.
Still got more paint to do and a seccond coat. The paint was setting the second the brush hit. Maybe some thinners next coat.

Also replaced output shaft seal today.
Wrote a tutorial on it for those who wish to tell me where I went wrong.
Beginning to feel like I'm spamming this thread.
Did no one work on their perentie over the long weekend?
I also just did the bonnet bushes.
deceptively simple things.

It was only a short weekend here but I am saving up all my issues for winter when I can be bothered fitting Hank in the garage.Quote:
