Oh good lord, the sight of that belt driven saw without any safety features would make the safety police over here faint and have children cover their eyes!

It’s called a Power Take-Off. For powering agricultural machinery from the vehicle differential.

Only issue I see is that the fit and finish are so far superior to the originals that some.... modification... will be on irder for sure. I think a small hammer and maybe rolling over the panels with an office chair will suitably replicate the originals.

Stunning job Armortek Team! Can't wait for mine. I have plans. Wonderful Plans!

Cheers,

And yet generations survived by learning not to stick your foot in the saw.

Amazing... We could also handle hot coffee and Land Rover Dashboards which, IIRC, had Bowie knives sticking out of them.

Cheers!

Prototyping the cloth top on the Series 1. We have gone for a light colour so that you can colour (dye) the top to the colour of your choice.

The Series 1 production run is now all reserved and we have started a waiting list. If you would like to get on the waiting list then drop us an email.

Is this due to low production numbers or high demand, just wondering, surprised they sold out before production.

Hi Johnny - the Series One is a popular model, especially here in the UK, and all kits are reserved due to high demand. It is not uncommon for our kits to sell out before the production has finished.

We have started packing up the kits - still hoping to start shipment by the end of the month, but it will be mighty close as there are a lot of parts to pack, instruction manual to complete ... and importantly, we are still waiting for all the M2 fasteners to arrive.
