M109A6 Paladin Starter Protection Relay
A new style starter protection relay for your Paladin now comes with NSN 5945-00-
690-2707. However, this relay’s connector is different from the old one. To connect the

Bradley Bolt-On Armor Shield NSN
To order the bolt-on turret armor shield for your M2A2/M3A2 ODS Bradley and M7
BFIST, use NSN 2540-01-442-8344. NSN 5340-01-425-0680, which is shown as Item 7 in Fig
79 of TM 9-2350-284-24P-2 (Jul 02), brings the wrong item.
If the plug is showing signs of wear, replace it with NSN 4730-00-057-5555. That
plug has a recessed hex drive that makes it easier to loosen and tighten. The new
plug replaces NSN 4730-01-333-0176, which is shown as Item 5 in Fig 177 of TM
9-2350-284-24P-1 (Aug 07).
More Good News
If the Bradley is using ramp pump, NSN 4330-01-134-6531, which is shown in
Fig 176, you’ll notice the ±ll plug isn’t a listed item. That means ordering the next
higher assembly—a new $5,000 ramp pump—whenever the ±ll plug is damaged or
missing.
Not anymore. The new ±ll plug, NSN 4730-00-057-5555, works on this ramp
pump, too.
