Panzer 3 suspension arms

Post by Paul Barnes »

Hi, got myself a 2008 panzer 3 but it had been dry built where it sat for years so alot of the moving parts fitted had rusted solid. This is were I need some help I had to buy a couple of new suspension arms and when they arrived they were a better shape then the original kit ones, I think they are from the later Stug kit, so I was thinking of replacing the lot with this newer set, I found a few pictures of stug's with this extra piece. Not sure if its part of the kit or a mod but if it is a part of the kit has anyone have a part number they can give me so I can order them, I would be very grateful.

The "Suspension Washer" part number is CL0223.

There are two types of suspension arms, but both appear to have the same part number of CL0204. There are eight normal parts and four with an additional hole with which to attach the shock absorber.

Thanks Adrian, the part I was asking about is the round part between the arm and the hull. The part coloured in white on the picture.

Everything taken apart and stripped back to metal, surface rust gone, new coat of primer. Going to do a dry fit of the hull and decks again with new fasteners just to double check, then crack on.
