M2A2/M3A2 Bradleys…
Rerouted Cable
Doesn’t
Dangle
wow!
sounds like
someone’s in a
lot
of
pain!
they
crushed
my 1w300 night
vision cable
again!
The 1W300 cable, NSN
driver’s night viewer,
dangles
in harm’s way
when you close the
driver’s hatch.
That means
rerouting
the
cable on the
hatch to stop
the dangling.
Here’s how…
you’ll
never have
to worry
again!
what are
you talking
about?
“That
crushes
the cable and can
cause a
fire
if it
shorts out.”
“The cable has
been
redesigned
to add an in-line
fuse to help with
the fire threat,
but
it’s up to
you mechanics
to keep the cable
safe
from
the hatch.”
4.
At the
coiled
end, disconnect
the cable from the hatch. Position
the clamp about 1 inch up from the
coiled section of the cable and
reattach it using the old hardware
in this sequence:
• Loop clamp, NSN 5340-00-954-6014,
holding the 1W300 cable.
• Sleeve spacer, NSN 5365-01-172-7899.
• Flat washer, NSN 5310-00-080-6004.
• Eye bracket, NSN 3040-01-106-7812.
• Flat washer, NSN 5310-00-080-6004.
• Self-locking bolt, NSN 5306-01-110-7884.
1.
Make sure the cable is
routed
out
of the Bradley
between
the two sections
of the hatch opening
cushioning pads located
over the driver’s left
shoulder.
2.
Route the cable along
the driver’s hatch, keeping
the first two loop clamps
parallel with the bottom
of the hatch.
3.
Continue routing the
cable along the periscope
using loop clamps and the
periscope’s mounting screws.
Cable goes
through
cushioning
pads…
…along
bottom
of hatch…
…and
up along
periscopes
Clamp location after mod
Clamp location before mod
I can
reroute
your
cable.
