Building a light & CB aerial bar

The bar's complete!

I've fitted the lights and aerials to it and it is now riveted to the screen. The wiring of the lights is still to be done and I've yet to source a CB to use the aerials but it does look good.

I'll post pictures in the gallery page as soon as I've taken some.

Building a light & aerial bar.

I've started making a combined auxillary light and CB aerial bar for DVO.

I'm intending mounting four halo spot lights and a pair of co-phased CB aerials on a single bar that is mounted on the screen frame so that she can be run with any combination of roof (or not) without affecting the bar and it's attachments. I had wondered about canterlevering it so that it stayed functional with the screen folded down but have decided this might be a step too far!

So far the basic bar and brackets are cut, folded and welded, just got the lugs for lights and aerials to cut and weld. Then it's painting, fitting and kitting.

Heating back to standard, well almost!

Since the last blog we've proofed the canvas hood (£35.00), fitted the spare wheel mount on the bonnet and replaced the series 2a military heater in the cab with standard units under the bonnet.

There are still some of the dashboard ducts and spiggots to collect up and fit to complete the refit back
