Spot008 That was a great find. I like all the detail on the change to the footings on the roll bar. I will be doing that mod to mine. I would like to fin one of them bull bars they fitted. I am still doing a bit more on it, I finished rebuilding the pto for the winch and the drive shaft, just got to fit it.
I am home for a copple of weeks. so might get a bit more done on it. It hadn't been started for 4 months, hit the key today and away it went, shut once but after that its good.
About who did the cnvershion for the Army. I talked to a fellow who spent 25 years working in design of their veichles. And he thought they were imported in as soft tops, then the army did all the other mods in their workshop. He did say where they were probley done, but I forget. Oldtimers .
 
Good to hear you're still chipping away Aussie

Finley got time to finish it off. Got it on the road now, done 1500km now and all going well. The only thing I am changing is the Detroit soft lock rear diff centre, its no good on the bitchy.
does any one have a picky of the pto winch selector leaver where it bolts to the side of the hump and how high it sticks through the hump.
Any help would be good as that all I have to
