Stowage Rails
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:40 am
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 themĀ![:icon_mrgreen: ;D](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
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
John
