Stowage Rails

Post by Mackem »

Hi All,

Took some time out from the Leo to do a bit of work on the Abrams. Started to replace the oversized turret stowage rails.
I thought this would be a really easy 5 minute job but it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
The new rails are made from the metal rods used in flower arranging. Got some funny looks in the local flower shop when I asked if they sold them  ;D
They are slotted through some plastic channel bar and attached in position. Only got the other side and the turret basket to do now.

Cheers
