ok here's the pictures. I think they speak for themselves. Another deviation from my original plan was the location of the holes in the ammo cans. Originally I had planned to put the holes 4 in. from the top of can. However the throat on my punch was only 3 1/4" deep so the cans sit a little lower than originally planned. The one potential problem this presented was the front corner hitting the rear shock absorbers. they just barely touched when fully compressed. I used up all the wiggle room in the holes to adjust them so they would't hit the shocks. ask away if you have questions.










I used 5/16" stainless fasteners:
main bolts were 3" long.
plate to can bolts were 3/4" long.
I used 3/4" diameter hex nuts as spacers. I used some foam rubber to fill in and keep the nut centered around the 5/16" bolt.
I would like to find something else to use as spacers that is slightly thinner but these will do for now.

I plan to paint the cans when I can find time and install some locks. I'll post updated pics then.

I upgraded to SAW boxes a few months back and never got around to post any photos. SAW boxes are much better then the 50BMG cans.

I don't think I could carry 50mm ammo. If there is any such thing. A 308 is 7.62mm.

Ural can be purchased with a rocket launcher:

I haven't heard about Urals in a long time. That gets me thinking. What would it take to get a side car on the GZ?

I love sidecars.

The side car might weigh more than the GZ250 Unless you went with one of those light weights like the racers use.
