Australian M816 wrecker build.

Ron/Robin... I was actually trying to find out what the Canadians used!!

For mine - I have a pile in the UK (same as you pictured Robin) slowly building - I need 8 sets, that's 64 pins! Used in a V formation with two links of 4 out each side. They will all "just" fit in one of the tool boxes up on the bed. Trick will be to fab the carrier so that I can get them out with the crane in one go - I believe that was sometimes an "end user" mod...

The Recy Mech I have been taking to in Oz used the same MoD style though I had seen pics of the thin cast ones too.

Robin - you got any of those for sale maybe?

- yup, still have the 101! Just ordered a load of parts from the UK to get it tidied up a little bit.


Ron - stop lights - I have the Hella "stop, reflector, turn" lamps that were road reg necessary (amber turn) but do you recall what functions of the original US lamps were retained seeing as the red turn had to be disabled...
