I'd be interested to know the pricing for some castle nuts, and also whether they would be suitable for Tiger parts such as the bump stops.
Adrian.

Steve,
By my count, I think we have an interest for 500+ of 3mm Castle Nuts.......
What is your opinion?

Hi Jim,
I think there is enough for me to get a batch cast, attached is photos of the 2 types, let me know which one you like and I will send it out to cast. I think the price would be around the same as the cones and wing nuts which is 50p each.
Regards
Steve

I would be interested in the castle nuts also.
Thanks for making them!

Steve,
By site, I would agree with Tim's choices; but, more exactly, the castle nut needs to be around 4mm high (3.96 mm by exact calculation).. And I would like to atleast get 100.
Now, if everyone buys them that has said they are interested...I put your batch at close to 1000. So, I am very confident you will achieve a base order sale.....(YAH!)

Has anyone had access to a PzIII to inventory the locations and numbers of castle nuts? Other than the vorpanzer on the front hull armor and the bump stop brackets for 4 of the swingarms, I can not make out any other locations in any of my images.
Thanks

To reply to Lawrence:
I've only been able to look at my photos, so what follows may not be complete.
Pz III castle nut locations:
All cone head bolts used castle nuts on the inside.
Sprocket ring retainng bolts - 12 off each sprocket ring, so 24 per sprocket, 48 in total
Front and rear bump stop mounting bolts - 2 off each stop, 8 in total
Vorpanzer hull - 15 off (larger size?)
Vorpanzer turret if fitted - 16 off)
Lower bracket joining hull upper and lower units. These came in two types, the early scalloped version which was welded to the hull and a later, straight bracket which came with the later production hull without the side escape hatches. These simplified brackets were bolted to the lower hull. I think there are 10 off per side but I haven't got access to the Jentz and Doyle drawings. Someone might check this.
Return roller mounts - 3 off per mounting, 18 in total
Hull lifting hooks - 2 off per hook, 12 in total
Tracket adjuster mounting brackets - 6 off per bracket, 12 in total
Domed cover on the rear lower hull plate - 4 off.
Shock absorber upper mountings - 4 off per mounting, 16 in total
I haven't counted that lot up, but it must come to well over a 100.
Hope that helps. I'll post this on the Pz III section as well.
Regards
Stephen
