2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Taper lock bush

Post by Roland Rion »

Good morning all

Just installed the taper lock bush, locks to the hub ok but I can slide the hub and taper lock bush off the axel. I don't think this is correct. I believe it's installed correctly. What did I do wrong, please help

If it slides off, you haven't done the two grub screws up tight enough. These things really bite when fitted correctly.

I take it you only have the grub screws fitted in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions (with the slot through the bush vertical) ?

Adrian, thanks for your reply

Yes, I have it installed just like you explained, grubs at three and nine. Grubs are tightened level with the taper bush lock and hub
