Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

A few more parts prepared for painting.

Pretty happy with how this larger floor plate is cleaning up. Three days of soaking in the citric acid bath followed up by a quick scrub and hose off. I’m quite happy with my initial invest in this method compared to having to send out these parts for sandblasting.

Taking advantage of the 20deg weather I got a bunch more plates all painted up. Now to let them sit for a while and have the paint harden up.

One more part made up for the Otter. Thanks to a fellow vehicle enthusiast in the Netherlands who was able to get me some dimensions from an Otter in a museum. This was a small bin that held a flare pistol. It still needs to get a spray of primer then it will be welded up to the backside of the turret basket ammunition tray.

No worries Jordan, when I go back again (to retrieve my measuring tape, one in inches) then I'll check if the bottom is open or closed.

Cheers,

Is that a stud for a leather strap on the front, Jordan?

Alex, thanks again. Carefully looking over the pictures you sent me leads me to believe that the bottom was welded up. Thats what I have done for mine.

David, I would think the stud is for that.
