Hi Nick.
The torsion bar end caps can be purchased from guenter.gaebelein@panther-tanks.de (CG-Model shop)
I cast some myself for one of my Panther G,s but found that there was limited space between the castings and the backs of the swing arms due to their thickness. Guenter,s laser cut end caps are a much better solution as they are a lot thinner.
Hope this is of help
Steve

I think you might find some other things in the saga useful as well.

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!
