StuG III 014 - A Team Effort

[Paul Morris]

Hi Stephen and all.

Back of the net again I would say, and so eloquently put ....
Well done that man.
Cheers Paul.

Set Suspension Angle
This needs to be 30-40 degrees.
It took a fair bit of fiddling but hopefully its OK now. ......

Hi guys, the suspension arm angle, can this be adjusted to the desired value? And if so how does this work?
Or is this angle grinded onto the torsionbars and is fixed ever after?

[Adrian Harris]

With the adjustable torsion bar system, the steel plug which sits at the "fixed end" of the torsion bar (CL0222 on my earlier StuG kit) can be released and rotated to correct any change in the suspension angle from age or damage, hence removing the need to change the angle of the ground portions of the torsion bars themselves.

That sounds good, thanks for explaining Adrian
