Thread: Anyone recognise this??

Home made?

is the winch attached to the bar? or to the chassis? other side of the crash cans.

Looks home made to me. As for the winch, on a D2 it can be bolted to the bar.
It is the D1's that with SRS that it has to be chassis mounted.

So, home made then. Looked pretty good, and had some nice sliders as well, that I stupidly didn't get a pic of. Sigh..., wish I could fabricate.

Now's the perfect time to learn. Enrol yourself in a welding course, buy a welder and grinder and get stuck in. Sure, you're unlikely to reproduce this result first go, but once you know the basics, just about anythung is possible. Get a local fabricator to cut and bend some of the sections, then weld it up yourself.

Start small, like some brackets or sliders, and work your way up. I find steel is far easier to work with than timber. If you stuff something up, you can just weld a bit back on, grind it flat and no one will ever know.

That's a tad on the agricultural side of the scale...

Definitely home made, or at least "local apprentice boiler maker" made...

If the angles weren't so sharp it could look quite good.

Nice thoughts, Gav, but they tried to teach me in the Light Green. they gave up, and so ddid I.

I got taught the L1A1 SLR if it's the Light Green I'm thinking of.
