Tiger 1 Tow Rope Retaining Mounts
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:34 pm
Hey guys,
As you know I've been up grading my HL Tiger 1 to a Mid Prod and was wondering if any one knew if the Tow Cable Retaining mounts on the engine deck were a single block of metal with a recess cut out for the cable and a swinging bar/wing nut fastening system or were they two metal square posts with the swinging bar / wing nut fastening system. I've seen different variations on other members tanks.
Looking at the Bovington Tiger 1, I can see that the Early version used a block welded to the hull with a slight recess milled in and nothing but a simple bar with fasteners. Would this have carried on throughout productions?
Here is the Bov pics and the area that I'm looking for.


Thanks boys,
Derek
