Need the following: Axle retainer shims Inner knuckle seal

I used a wire brush tosand down the exterior. That was miserable. Never again.

I know a guy in the UK who is making western rims that will fit on his BRDM which should match up with yours. I will let you know what happens with his endeavors

Thanks! I will have it sandblasted and primer and painted professionally later. The roland sits about 6" higher with the same tires and re arched leaf springs and new shocks. The front steering gear is out so I can repaint the front hull.

Not many updates since then but our plan is to have it ready by my birthday in July. Completely ready and the BRDM by the end of the year. Should be doable. This has been frustrating the holy hell bells out of me. Since the last update I have gotten the springs re-arched to a more correct level...

Chemical RKHB version with the cages cut off. Look at the small PKT only turret and the sniffer blisters on the right hand side. Good deal regardless! It looks like it's in good shape. We had 2 we were supposed to import in february of 22. Then the war started and the seller went dark.

When the 318 dies my plan is to replace it with a 360. It's a drop in and gives a bit more power. More progress since the last update. Will post pics soon.

That's exactly what it is. A smallblock chrysler LA 318 engine. They put these into smaller AFVs. Worked well.

It's a lot of work. I'm getting closer everyday to being done. He's a huge help but he's not on this website.

So after countless painstaking hours of research and discussion with a Koni CS rep I did indeed successfully identify the Shocks on the roland AND get some specs for a baseline: Model-88 1006 MinL – 331mm (13.03”) MaxL – 502mm (19.75”) Dust cover OD x Shock body OD – 64mm x 55mm Damping...

Progress update. I’m in the last 20% of the interior. Ive been using a LOT of harbor fright tools lately, especially the Icon series tools. Unfortunately their weird sizing meant the 1/2 impact socket set didn’t have the 30mm socket I needed so I busted out ye olde Tekton which had it...

Where I’m at right now in regards to the interior stripping

New wheel cylinders arrived

3/4 off. Need a 30MM wrench to get the last one off, it's right up against the transmission

Did some interior painting tonight ans installed the heat and noise shields. This should make the vehicle better to drive. My assistant was less than helpful

Lots more work has occurred since the last post. Have the tires and drums off. Brakes are completely shot. Interior is almost done. The front floor well is the primary area that’s nasty.
