    I'm also on the lookout for a toolbox that fits the frame, and apparently they had a flexy exhaust pipe extentsion.
    Similar Gennies I was involved with in RA Sigs had the flexible exhaust approx. 1.5m in length from memory. This was used so the end could be dropped into a hole in the ground for quieter Operation at night.

    I never spotted any wayward & inquisitive VC so I guess it must have worked, but I suppose they would have been a bit of a rarity at Cultana or Alligator Gorge SA anyway.

    worked better the other way around....

    drop the genny in a hole, dig a trench for the exhaust and set it up so the exhuast side was down wind.... mound up the windwards side a little and cover with a pallet...

    Probably Dave.

    A bit late now for me but it would have been more convenient attached to an Engineer's Detachment with access to a small excavator.

    Ah, the good olde days.


    FWIW, This post got me off my arse to stoke up my ex-Telecom B & S genny & give her a run for a bit. Still works 1st pull.
