Hi Martin.

I'm not sure of the translation but is that the washer with a tab on one side ?

The only place I've seen something like that is as part of one of Mike Stannard's Panther sets. It is PAN23 in this catalogue:

Dear Adrian, thanks, yes that is pretty close. On some WW2 photos you can se such bolt secure latches around the 6 big mountig bolts the gun to the gun mantlet. Its found on Mid and Late versions. I have seen such stuff in some store, but cannot remeber.

Hi Martin,

Once upon a time Vince Abbott made them:



I don’t think they are for sale any more.

Cheers

Hi Martin.

I would be interested to know if you receive a response as panzertechnic.com is Vince Abbott's old website and as far as I know he doesn't sell those parts any more.

However, the fact that the site still works is a good sign.

Adrian.
