Trying to find pioneer tools

[derekchace]

Hey guys just got my light weight and Im trying to find some pioneer tools. I have the head to the pic axe, but need the shaft and the shovel. Any Idea's were to find them in the US? Also any one know were to find paint chips for the NATO green and black so I can get them mixed by a paint place? I could also use the dupont code. Thanks guys just working on turning her into a Light weight Recce moddle will keep you all posted

Maybe RAL 6031 or RAL 6014. Once you figure out the color, please let me know. I'll be re-spraying my Lightweight in the spring.

The Green 383 looks really close to the original green color on my vehicle.

Correct, we do carry the Pioneer Kit hardware and brackets. Listed under Land Rover Series > Body - Exterior > Rear - Tailgate. Look towards the bottom of the last page.

Be careful about standard NATO green as there is no such thing. That is the Dutch version which is different from the UK version. Those army people have a sense of humour when it comes to these things.

Here is a set of articles that contains eveything you ever want to know about painting EX MOD Landrovers and a lot you never want to know including the great paint scandal of the 50's.

^^ I saw that last link, but where is the actual paint code for the green that we are looking for?

[greenmeanie]

BS381 No. 285

[derekchace]

Can i take that code to the paintstore? is it like the dupont code

[yorker]

Probably not. But they should be able to match what you already have.
