Next Project , Refurb a Royal marines pulk

[Twodogs]

On the last trip I used this pulk that I overloaded and tended to tip over in deep snow ,




So the hunt began for an other bigger pulk to spread the load a chance phone call to Simon at Wilderness leasure and the one below is now on the way to me .

Its An ex-RM pulk I think it was a radio or wepion platform looking at the internal mount .



One job will be to replace the cover



I bought a couple of these to use for that ,

Anyone know where I can get some YKK size 12 zips ?

There is also crack on the rear that I will need to sort .


The runners look good and theres loads of lashing points fitted .



Im looking forward to getting this one it will be a good project ,,,

Update to follow after its in my hands

You're on a roll with projects mate. Look forward to seeing it completed. You could keep the gun mount. Would be useful for putting stragglers out of their misery or encouraging good admin

 

[DavidJT]

Or fix a sail to the mount!

Is it of a size that will be ok for checking in on the plane?

Maybe you can find zips here...

Looks really good cliff. Is it heavy mate?

Has he got any more lol

 

[Twodogs]

Sorry mate I don't know

[Greg]

They aren't that heavy...not superlite but not too bad.....without sounding too purdantic... its not a royal Marines pulk...its just a Military standard issue pulk....I was Army..Royal Signals...we used the same ones ;-)
Good project and I'd be very interested to see it completed...good luck Fella

What are you doing with your old one?

nudge nudge wink wink

 

[Andy BB]

Looking at the thickness of that fibreglass, I'm guessing its a bit on the porky size! By the time you've got that on the plane, you'll have no allowance for contents

 

[MartinK9]

Nice one Cliff.

What are you doing with your old one?

The Pulk arrived yesterday so the fun can now start ,

First job remove the old cover ,



Well happy to find it was bolted in with stainless bolts with brass wig nuts makes it easy to replace in service I suppose .



Then onto the mount what a beast , still don't know what it was for .




It has a level mounted in the frame must be a Radio mast or a weapon?





That's better loads of weight removed ( No need to worry Andy )



Quick wash just to get all the storage dust off it .




Next up will be a repair to the crack and make up a new cover
