A while back somebody (Don't remember who... ) asked me how the light frontal side skirts were attached to the hull. Since I was down in the motor pool taking some reference pics of the markings, I took some of the attachment points to. These skirts are used for training only. The problem with the heavy skirts are that they don't let rocks and gravle out of the tracks as easily and therefore wear down the tracks and fenders faster. However, here are the pics for those who want them. Btw, the light skirts are from a Leopard 1.
