Assuming you are talking about the M577, this might help:

G'day Wayne,
Here are a couple of photos.
The first is from a M113 LRV. From memory the drivers hole is not that much differant to the ACV. You can see the F88C mount and barrell lock.

The second is the only one I have to do with the ACV. Tried not to spend that much time in RHQ or SHQ. However from memory there were only ever 3 radios. From rear to front on the shelves "A" set "C" and "D" sets.
"B" set was usally a 77set in a power tray on the right hand side of the LRV. But I dont remember ever seeing one on an ACV. But then again I could be wrong.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers Jason
PS I just had a look at Pauls photos. Pretty much the same as ours. However, the dust filter has got me buggered. I might have to ring a mate or two to find out.

Hey Paul thnaks for the link.
