Hi I'm struggling to find details on the Bridge Attatchment unit to complete the second part of my model build (FV4002 ). I have a set of outline drawings and 2 photo's taken at long distance of the vehcule after it had laid the bridge but can not find any detail of :-
a) the attatchment( release mech for the bridge section to the lifting "box")
b)details of the exteria of the lifting box.
c) The attatchment points for the second piston to lower the bridge unit from the vertical to the horizontal.
Does anybody have a picture or experiance of the above? I can take an educated guess to the attatchment points for the piston but it is better to have the correct points. But I have no information at all on the details of the lifting box.
regards Denzil

Re: Centurion Bridger layer (FV4002)Hydraulic piston
I worked on a couple M60 based ones when I was in the US Army. There was one that ran from engine deck to front of the machine that tilted forward. Another ran from the top of the arm to the bottom to tilt the bridge from a vertical position to horizontal. If you look up bridge layer tank on youtube, there are some cool remote ones people have built.

Thanks for the help. I have been offered some close up pictures from a old tank driver. So onwards and upwards as they say.
