I am hoping to convert a M163 to a Machbet, anybody out there know of a site for the Machbet (mod to the M163 20 mm Vulcan) with close up photos of the linkage and where it connects to, or of a conversion kit for the M163!

As I know very little about this conversion any help will be greatly appreciated.

For those who are interested, A.E.F. Designs do a conversion for the M163 to Machbet along with a ton of other IDF conversion kits:

KI-53 - Vulcan/Stinger
KI-54 - IDF M-163 Vulcan/Stinger

Go to my site in the links section there is a site called IDF armor. one of the series on that site is of the Machbet. Also be advised AEFs kit is of the earlier version and not with the latest gizmology. I don't know if you can go back and search yahoo news photos but they've had a bunch with the Machbet in them. If you still need help come over to the IDF armour group forum (info on my site) one of us should be able to help you some more.
