Hello Dennis, when you get the chance please look at Mick's last page, page seven. Maybe you can help us out when installing the Suspension Bush (CM0208). Read my question to Mick and his reply. Thanks Dennis

Hi Tom,
The bush CM0208 has to be loctited in to the wheel, then the bush is rotating on the steel axle. If you loctited the bush to the axle firstly the aluminium wheel would be rotating on a bush which would wear quickly, secondly you wouldn't be able to get the inside wheel off if needed.

Working searchlight now added to the 251 not strictly an Amortek model but I don't expect Gill and Mark will mind. Both under radio control, working video can be found at :-

Hello Dennis, excellent work, I follow your build and enjoy the posts, well done mate. Those 'searchlights' are little works of art......
My 251 is up and running, no problems. looking forward to building the 'Quad'.....Mick

Hi Dennis,
I've enjoyed watching this build, your extra detail is outstanding. Did you make the trailer base, or did you buy it from some where?
Paul.

Hi Dennis,
Nice addition to your 251, you will be able to race around your grounds at night spotlighting the neighbour hood cats and dogs, and drones and chasing them all away from your fortified bunker!
Cheers
Ian

Hi Paul,
I was given the Flak 38 gun which I mounted in the rear of the 251, it came complete with a trailer and a bit of fabrication later managed to use it for the searchlight. The searchlight came from a Club member that I did some repairs and mods to his Tiger so we did a deal. It originally had a 2.5 volt filament bulb in it so i changed it for a 3 watt high power led and a lot of mods later to radio control it. I was thinking of buying a searchlight from the web until I saw the price £135 plus shipping !!! The Flak 38 was a Dragon model which is no longer available I think, so was lucky to get one free.
Thanks Dennis
