Hi Dale
I'm planning on making some cone nuts for the side doors of the turret.
I lost the Armorpax ones that came with kit.Now I have some ideas on how to make these,But was wondering how you made your's.
Can you tell me how you went about making them? Thanks from Dan.

Hi Dan, I was browsing on the Internet for 6mm cone bolts and found these

they are in stainless steel, and I bought some 6mm and 5mm cones, they are threaded, now the down side is they are used on the bars for body piercing, lots of sites out there, cheap in the USA
only problem is the people I spoke to in these stores could not grasp why I wanted 100 without the bars, I only managed to get about 50, but I did not spend to much time
regards
Jeff

You should have gone for some piercing, you might have go 100 then!! I hear the one through the end of the old man is quite painless, you could fit a cone then for a bit of streamlining!!

Interesting, Does anyone know what measurement the size refers to --- height or diameter?
Thanks

Also I was wondering if anyone has been able to actually measure the height and diameter of the different sized heads on an actual tank? Sorry if I missed this info in an earlier post but I don't think so.
Thanks again!
