The above pics shows something many people have asked about in the past, “Why are there four bolts on the corners of the top of the hull?”

These bolts are for temporarily attaching lifting rings to remove and move the turret around.

The third one is tucked in between the TC and loaders hatches, up against the blowout panels

Thanks Ralph, I really need to carve out some time to put more work into this. I’m trying to tie up some outdoor projects before the weather turns.
