The
main external differences of the
Fv432
mk1, mk2, mk2/1 and mk3
The
most obvious external feature that distingushes the mk1 from the rest
of the family is the mounting of the exhaust along the roof as it
has the Rolls Royce petrol engine fitted (pic1).
The mk2 and mk2/1 have the exhaust running along the left hand side
of the hull and as it has the Rolls Royce K60 multifuel engine fitted
(pic4). The main external difference between the
mk2 and mk2/1 is the NBC pack housing on the right hand side (pic5),
the mk2 is similar to the mk1, whereas the mk2/1 is more flush mounted
giving a narrower overall width. The mk3 had extensive modifications
to the pack and steering assemblies when the Cummins engine was fitted.
This is seen in the extra smaller hatch fitted to the front plate
(pic6). |
