Hey Everyone,
Been awhile since I have been on the forum, but figured I would show off the turret I was able to build using some hmmwv parts along with some steel, and some thinking. I wanted a turret but also a soft top. So I made a hybrid,.. the only hybrid that I will ever like though.
I was able to finish this over the summer, so more pics will come soon.
I started out using the hmmwv parts for the reference and some of the info off the site to help.
I was able to get ahold of a turret bearing ring, hatch, triangle mount, and top cover.
First I came up with the idea of having the ring bolt into some piece of metal, but something that would be able to be used to lock the ring into place too. Thats when it hit me...angle iron. I got some angle iron and had a guy in B.F.E. bend the steel aroung the ring snug, but it could be also removed too.
