Re: Florians FAMO build
Just checking but you know what you are doing. Some builders may think that the rubber segments line up with the sprocket rollers but they dont , much care needs to be taken when bonding in place as the position is odd, and it's crucial it's lined up with the assembled track!

Re: Florians FAMO build
Thats right Phil.
The correct Position is important for the Track Chain and have to go with her Position.
Now the question is, eh ich was the trak Link hieß. 2 positions are ppssible

Re: Florians FAMO build
The work would be phenomenal Florian, with many years of dirty rusty greasy oily frustrating slog, with very expensive spare parts if you could even find them, there Ive talked my self out of it! Now a Bren gun carrier with a flat head V8 would be cool
Do you get to see the UK TV show called "Combat dealers" all about Bruce Crompton and his search for WW11 vehicles and artifacts?

Re: Florians FAMO build
I love the program, but hate the part where he spends 5 minutes screwing down the price he's paying, telling the seller it's way too high, then gloats about the fact he got it for a stupidly low price and will triple his money when he sells it. I do know it's a light entertainment program, and not real life.
I wonder if the dealers and collectors who actually know the cost of these things watch it whilst laughing their arses off at the prices shown.

I can't speak for the militaria community... but in the car world. Yes. Yes we do. I am willing to bet that in the tank and armored (er... armoured) car community... it is no different!Adrian Harris wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 9:26 pmI wonder if the dealers and collectors who actually know the cost of these things watch it whilst laughing their arses off at the prices shown.

And I don't deal. Never wanted to be a used car dealer. But I certainly know the market... And , yes, we LOL at "Chasing Classic Cars" and similar.
Cheers,

Re: Florians FAMO build
So back to the building report...
On this weekend I did some dirty work on the fenders. Some other parts needs work to fit.
I also made somethin on the connection part from steering servo to the axel. the reason for taht is a bigger contact surface for the pin. Fortunatly the pin is long enough for that, so the securing nut you can fix neverthless.
