    Default Mount indenifaction?

    Can any one tell me what the three mounts on the right are. They look like SLR rifle mounts? Also where would they mount.

    The rifle mount on my 69 is mounted on top of the dash. Yes the pieces on the right are a rifle mount - though mine only has 2.

    I found them on craiglist and I am going to go take a look at them. I am just not sure I can get the rifle mounts to fir my rovers. I have a 1975 lightweight and a 1982 109 ffr with the plastic dash. I am wondering with a little modification if I could get them to fit as I would love to mount my L1A1 or Sten in the rovers.

    You can mount them anywhere there is a flat surface.

    Right side up or sideways - as long as it is flat it doesn't really matter what angle the surface is at.

    I have seen the rifle mounts mounted on the bulkhead between the cab and tub behind the seats

    In reference to the thread "Thank you AMC's Walking Dead" you could always get another set, mount them to the 'wings' and using surplus throttle linkage parts hook up a trigger pull by the front seat.

    While I appreciate your vigor in the matter, I don't believe spinal mounted guns will work on a series vs. zombie battlefield. Steering is to slow to get a good lock on the fast and erraticly moving zombies.

    Default mount Identification

    These look the the .303 Enfield rifle mounts common on MOD vehicles from the 1940's though the mid to late 1960's. Fairly common, but still a neat bit of MOD kit from the period.
