Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / September 2004spade mounting bits
has anyone got the fittings used to mount a spade on military vehicles kicking around spare? I think it consists of a loop for the blade of the spade and a couple of other bits. or failing that can anyone hash-together a couple of brackets I can rivet to the wing to do the same job? I want to be able to padlock it also. I've email'd anchor about spade but if anyone has one of those kicking around in servicable condition it'd make my day. I'm in cornwall if it makes any difference. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

There is a set of the bits you want as fitted to a 101 on ebay at the mo. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31348&item=2490626255&rd=1 Ends on monday night. Theres not much to it, so you could quite easily knock yourself up a home made set.

Gulp, gurrent bid is £26, I was hoping to do it for far cheaper than that... :o( Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

I bought one from Anchor and it didn't fit on my 110. It seems that there's nothing too standard about a NATO standard spade. Your best bet is probably to try at Sodbury next month, if you're close enough.

It's at the Newbury Showground, just off J13 on the M4. It's well worth the effort of going! http://www.oldsodburysortout.co.uk/ Make sure you have your shopping list in your head, and allow plenty of time - it usually takes me about 2 hours just to walk round it all.

Well, it's unlikely to get nicked where I live, but I intend locking it on anyway. And I'm trying to free-up as much space as I can with clever storage and something like a spade can easily be shifted to outside the vehicle. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
