14Platoon Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Winters coming, heater sorted and just fitted a “Haz Rad” kit to the interior. Absolutely in keeping with the Defender as it’s an ex MOD FFR (fitted for radio). The Haz Rad kit was to stop the affects of radios on the signalmen. Not bad for just under £70 ps the photos don’t really show it properly but take my word, it’s nice cosy and neat.

neil110 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Looks like a good piece of kit, just not sure how it offers any radiation protection to the scaly backs if they are inside the vehicle with the radio kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, maybe it was protection from the powerful antennas attached to the side and rear of the defenders, protecting those transmitting from within🤷🏻♂️ Would make sense as it covers the roof.

DC_ Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Looking good platoon, have you noticed a difference in the heat in the cab? Did you source the kit from the eblag? And would you say it adds to sound proofing? 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for warmth I can't really say just yet but as I've sorted the heater it warms up fairly quick now. It feels cosier and doesn't feel like you're sitting in an empty can now. Kit was from fleabay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should hold up very well as it was designed and used r the military. I used self drilling screws and washers into the strengthening box sections of the roof and side walls, yours should have these too hopefully. Be careful what depth screws you get and don't mis aim otherwise you'll put a nice leaky hole (another one) in your defender. You don't need many of these fixings as the panels are fairly sturdy.
