I did a body replacement on an Iltis back when I was in the military. I think it took 32 hours, but the manual actually allowed 90 hours if I recall correctly.

I also recall that there was a bulletin to ensure the body mounts were properly torqued. As the Iltis broke in, the body mounts wore/loosened, and the frame would then be able to flex. This resulted in wrinkles forming on the body just forward of the front doors.

Re Ed's bike: Shame you don't put on a set of BD, strap on a sten or a deac no4 rifle and webbing, and do some parades Ed. I used to bring an old army bicycle out to various parades, and the veterans said that the bicycles were what they remembered traveling on.
