Just want to ask, how are the APU's mounted on the turret bustle rack connected to the tank? Are cables visible going into the turret or is there some sort of a conduit that could be seen. Thanks.

ok I hope these two pics help - The first one is from the Tanxheaven site showing where the APU plugs into the conduit on the right side of the pic


This is a pic that I took of the end of the APU conduit

Thanks TT. Now do you have pictures of that connector that runs from the APU up to the turret? What it looks like, dimensions if available. Sorry, I just want to know if I could replicate it on the M1A1 I'm doing.

Is this what you need ?

The tan colored conduit ?
I also have this pic I'm guessing it is the power source for the MCD used by the USMC ?
