as im building a camper/weekender out of my hard top one ten, i was going to use loft insulation and thin ply to build a roof and side walls like i would if i was doin a panel van conversion.

but thankfully the good old british army have saved me the job and i happily bought a WOLF RADHAZ radiation hazard kit fitted to military FFR defender to supposedly stop radiation from the antennas makin the crew all weird in the head.

it came from ebay , won for £11.42 plus £7.99 shipping
it was all packed in a large clear plastic bag, with a 3 bags containing the roof sections and a further bag containing a fitting kit (nuts, eyelets, large plastic eyelets, ratchet straps, rivets, and some velcro

i already knew this was meant for the defenders with roll cages inside, but i was confident i could easily fit it

it took me around 2 hours from start to finish, and all i needed was a socket set, a screwdriver, a drill, and loads of small self tappers

first i took out the sun visors and rear view mirror

then i stuck the adhesive velcro onto the door frames around the window on each side
this allowed me to stick the front section on and hold up the middle so i could see how best to fit it, once i had it where i wanted it i tucked the front section behind the rear view mirror holder so it stayed there while i proceeded to the next bit

here you can see the rear view mirror thing holding the roof up

i then drilled and screwed self tappers into the door frame to secure the matting, and then put a screw into the centre channel of the roof to hold it up

at that moment i knew i could secure the front of the matting by pulling it over(or under) the rear view mirror thing and screwing the rear view plate back on to sandwich it, this only left a small gap where the sun visors could be refitted which was perfect

i finished the front panel by cutting small X cuts where the seat belts bolted through, then unbolted the belts and rebolted them in front of the matting.
there is a velcro opening which i presume fits over the WOLF harnesses in the military spec vehicles.

the rest is easy, you just continue to fit the other sections, finding places to screw into as you go, i used the centre channel on the roof, and the top of the side panels. i also secured the bottoms of the rear pieces screwing into the bottoms of the side panel

as you go along you can strap the panels together to help you hold them up while your positioning it. and also i had a roll of carpet to use fr propping up the roof panels while i worked on the other sides. this was invaluable, and if i didnt have this i think i wouldve needed an extra pair of hands

after id finished i thread the straps through all the holes, from the back where theyre attached, to the front where you fasten the ratchet ends to, they then clip under the front section of the roof behind the sun visor fixings.

the straps have to be pulled taught to hold the roof up without sagging, however there is nothing to screw them to so i have bonded 4 little pieces of wood to the roof at the rear of the vehicle, and will screw into those, through the strap ends so that they can be pulled as taught as theyre meant to be.

also ive painted the rear wall black to finish off the look, and am making a black curtain to go across the back and rear door to black it out. oh and i gave the sun visors a new coat of black radiator paint. good as new

heres the pics so far

i havent been on a long run in it so cant say whether its any quieter, im still getting used to the massive effect the carpet has had on noise reduction.
however i finished this matting yesterday, and when i got in the cab this morning it felt instantly cosy and the heater warmed it up very quickly compared to having nothing on the walls or roof at all.

im impressed with it and definitely dont regret spending £20 to make such a huge difference. highly recommended
 
looks good and sounds like its doing the job.

well in. :)
 
I've been trying to work out how to fit one to my 109 for a while and now i know :D Mine has side windows though so it is going to take abit of modification...
 
I like it , should stop you getting dripped on at least :) . but I must point out tho that youve fitted your tow ball wrong ........ :p

youll be glad to know that the sides are meant to roll up when required, so just fit it the same as mine but leave the bottoms unscrewed, or use a hook system for the bottom.

there are straps at the top of the sides so you can roll the matting up and strap it up there for when you need use of the windows.

haha ye ye i need to take that off. it started life as an airport vehicle, used to tow a beacon trailer at blackpool airport and when they wanted to pack it away they lifted it into the vehicle backwards and hooked up the internal tow bar to secure it. easier than ratchet straps i guess.
 
Nice one. I fitted one of these kits to my 110 last year. Its a def improvement and makes it look a bit comfier inside at least. Those loops on the side parts towards the top can all tuck in. You can push them through their own holes. (See photo below)

thanks for the tip. all tucked in now

i gave the wooden blocks a wiggle this morning after leaving them overnight, and they came right off. evo grip isnt good enough. so im gona try silkaflex instead.
gave the back wall another coat of paint, and my moms gona sew me the curtain. ive swapped out the very last bolt in the top of the side panel towards the back, for a 4 inch 10mm bolt sticking up wards, with 2 nuts on the end. this is high enough and sturdy enough to put the elasticated curtain rail wire thing on, ill add pics when its all finished so you can see what i mean
 
OK, maybe it's just me but

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when a copper gets a look at; carpet on the floor, 'soundproofing' on the walls, black-out curtains on the windows and bondage straps.

:D
 
Superb posting ... I definitely want two of them ... one to fit to my 110, one to make seat covers, a back door cover/curtain out of ... and probably a centre curtain behind the seats.

Thanks for posting this ... fleabay here I comes. :5bdrool5::5bdrool5::5bdrool5::5bdrool5:

ye i wouldnt mind a fume curtain type thing made from this aswell, but dont wana buy the whole kit to just use one panel.

think ill just get some heavy black curtain or somat.

post yer pics when ur done, n gime a shout if u need to ask nefin
 
Theres loads on ebay, non for 90though sadly

I googled Rad Haz fitting instructions and came across a thread on another forum where someone has fitted one of these to his 90.

I'll see if I can find it again.

Found it :

Here

Couldn't you simply overlap the two sections ?

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind when I get to the fitting stage.

When I first got my landy, I simply bought a roll end of material from Dunelm Mill and made my own curtains for the back door, side windows and behind the seats using curtain springs to hold them. I ended up with loads of spare material, which might have been used to make seat covers until I saw this thread about the Rad Haz kits. The thread I found for the 90 shows the kit rolled up for the windows and this is how I will use it. Basically, the entire interior of my 110 will be Rad Haz covered excluding the floor which will get a carpet of some sort. But I have a lot of things to do before I get to that stage. I'll probably start a thread of my work as I go along with it and hopefully it will include a roll up type curtain behind the seats (which is what I assume you mean by fume curtain.)

Annnd, no promises, but since you started this thread and gave me the idea, if there is enough of the kit leftover when I'm finished, I'll let you have it for a "fume curtain" but don't hold your breath as it'll be a while before I know if there is enough left, the 2nd one I bought will be making a curtain for the back end, a "fume curtain" and maybe a couple of seat covers and a cubby box cover ... I might even need to buy a third one as I just got the idea to make a seat box cover too as I was typing this..... Good God, this could go on for a while, I could make loads of things out of these... I wonder how much a pallet of them would cost :eek::eek::eek:
