Hi Christophe

No, I don't. I would think it was attached the same way as the Isrealis and the Russians do it, by welding thick plates just below the front hull edge. You should know that the mine roller was only used on the strv 103 during a test period and if my memory serves me well it didn't fall out very well. I have a couple of friends who actually served as tank commanders on the strv 103 during the period. I'm sure that at least one of them knows the details around this. I will contact him this weekend for an interview. I have also found the pictures I referred to earlier. I plan on publishing, on this site, the pictures together with some drawings explaining the attachements of the Strv 103 with mine roller. Hope to have this ready during the week end.
