During my tour in the stan I seen the method in which the mine roller and plow were installed. What is the name of the generic plate/hardware that is attached to the front of the hull, and then the plow or roller is attached to this?? Also, I seen a similiar unit of another vehicle, but without all the clamps for a roller or plow, is this add on armour.

Thanks

Of the four types of C-2's on operations, the Plough and Dozer types were hardmounted as one units onto the hull.The Roller tank was fitted with what is called the Roller Bra , short for mounting bracket. The other type was the regular MEXAS C-2 without attachments.

Ok, thanks for the info. Now I know what to name the file I made with pics of this Roller bra.

Further to what Anthony said, the plow and rollers each require their own adapters. Rollers have the mine roller adapter plate, or bra; the plow has it's own adapter. Similar to but not the same as those seen fitted to the Abrams. These are for the C2's, the Leo 2's are probably different still.
