The AWFFR

Thought I'd give a brief history of my swb FFR. Brought it
around 12 years ago after a chance meeting helping out at a
mountain biking event in Thetford Forest, had a mix bag of front
seats, odd tyres and all the FFR fittings missing, but did come
with quite a bit of the smaller fittings like the brackets for
the front rifle clips etc, had it on the road, gave it a fresh
coat of paint and ran it about until about 2004 when I thought
I'd take it off for "a year" and smarten it up and fit a s/h
gearbox until I could rebuild the original one (still gotta do
that) so over the next 9 years it had the gearbox changed,
another coat of paint, inside and out, new (Britpart, before I
knew better) springs and shocks, unleaded head, split rims,
proper goodyear tyres, FFR fittings found, cleaned up and
fitted, radios, weapons, etc etc, wiring was always a bother as
the rear loom had been buggered about and bodged with trailer
cord and missing out the convoy light and nato socket, so after
trying to make my own I was over the moon with an nos swb FFR
loom appeared on evilbay. had a word with a local autosparky and
he said he could do it, only took 3 years ::) but still
probably quicker then what I could of done and now been back on
the road since July this year, although there is now a charging
issue I need to look into
Just starting the refurb

There's one in CZ as well, but I think it's still in a million
tiny bits - the rebuild started just after Birmabright Weekend
2009, where the following photo was taken:

Yer I remember years ago on a military vehicle forum hear one
made its way there, any idea if they're keeping it 24v after the
rebuild or changing to 12v?

I remember the owner really tried hard to get all the correct
electrical gear, so my guess is he will keep it 24V 8)
