Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about the Bradley ERA tile installations that I'm hoping people can help with . . .

On the front hull glacis there are two tile types, one heavy and one light. Is one older and one newer? Or is there some other difference?

Also the thinner front hull tiles have a chamfered tile that in photos is sometimes installed at the top of the hull set and others towards the bottom. Is this just "license" by the workshop fitters or is there some other reason. Which is the correct (ie by the manual) way to fit the chamfered blocks?

There are also differences in the turret installations, some fit have the chamfered top edges, some don't have them at all, are these variations just because of the tile kits on hand at the time?

Finally, is there a different nomenclature for the different thickness of front hull tiles, I'd just like to call them by there correct name rather than "thicker" or "thinner" ....

Appreciate any help
cheers
Brent
