Tiger 1 Turret Ring Fasteners Question

Post by Steven Raison »

Hey Guys

Well im building the turret now and attaching the turret ring but have some questions.

The manual say's it's held on with the M5x50 Cap but there are no nuts mentioned to hold them on and there are no threads to screw in to. Also the m5x50 cap fits threw the Gear Ring and turret hull but not the turret ring that's right under the Gear Ring.

So do i drill out the Turret Ring holes and find M5x50 nuts or am i using the wrong fasteners.

Hello Steven,

You have to turn the ring gear till it fits with the holes in the turret ring,
that works for me. Normaly there are M5 nuts in the kit, maybe Armortek forgot them?

Sure gill would send on some M5 nuts. Check your bag again though. Easy to miss 1 small bag among so many and as yves says rotate the rings till they match up, (worked for me). If that does not work just drill.

One of my holes was out of line and too small so i reemed it out. Also like you i had a double drilled hole. I used M5 + nuts. No problems
