Eightpot Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Trying to help a guy in Italy complete his FFR Defender, and he needs some bits for his radio table - amphenol connectors etc. The photo he's sent me of his radio table doesn't look like any of the ones I've seen though, and the connectors are different - anyone recognise this type, is it a new style battery box??

Les Brock Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 IIRC this was the battery box for the 24v radio batteries in a FFR 90 ! I might be wrong though as its been a while Regards LEs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Any better / closer photos of the connectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Looks to me like a lightweight landrover battery box. Only the box though. there is a shed load more needed to allow the table/cage antennas etc to be put in the back of a lightweight. A defender one is more common and probably cheaper. rough looking example here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-MILITARY-FFR-WOLF-TITHONOUS-RADIO-TABLE-BATTERY-BOX-/190688239645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Of course, a lightweight -what a dummy, he even told me he was looking for bits for his half ton He only has about six words of English though so communication isn't easy. I already sent him over some Defender battery box gear which obviously doesn't quite fit. Photo's attached of the amphenol connectors - I'll have a look on EMLRA see if I can locate some for him.

pete3000 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Might be some more info here, http://www.land-rover-lightweight.co.uk/Clansman.html look under unitary radio kit only refered to as amphenol connectors, the common mil-c-38999 is used on clansman etc but these look a bit more "vintage" could do with the emer or ces kit list. I googled "clansman into lightweight landrover" Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
