Points to note about the design of this IDF Centurion Shot Kal conversion.

This is a 1973 Centurion that does not have the concertina dust cover over the barrel and does not have the welded raised vehicle registration plates.
It uses the existing turret top as these were as common as the raised roof. If you wish to build the version with the raised roof then we do produce Mouse Armour item MA408.
The tow cable ends are based on a 1973 picture from Vasko Barbic. There are other types and you may care to make your own to suit your specific model.
1 meter of Karaya 1.25mm cable is included in the conversion. The IDF did not have many recovery tanks during the 1973 war so most Centurion carried up to 4 tow cables,
