Armortek

Hi Phil,

Great build, thanks for taking the time to show how you go about to start a build I have already picked a few tips that will help when I start my panther A build.

Cheers,

David

More progress although as the parts become smaller and require more work things seem to slow down some what.

Love it Phil! Pure Tiger porn...

A little more done.

Had the same issue with the sprocket bolts. Used M2.5 X 10 instead which were perfect. Like you I also had to machine one of the sprockets inner tapered hub. Although I was offered to send it back I machined it myself with the help of a drawing that Kian sent me.

Hi Vince, I'm still working on those sprockets this morning then off out this afternoon on my Harley, just got to get the wind in my hair! . Sounds like yours will be a perfect runner with all this attention to getting the engineering just so but it's very satisfying

Yes Phil, it is satisfying giving the model the personal touch and it gives me also an excuse to continue using my tools before they get jealous of inattention.

Enjoy the good weather today on your bike before it gets worse tomorrow.

Vince

Just a quick update from yesterday.

Thanks Phil for all those useful tips. Please keep them coming. They are the sort of information that people like me who are newbie Armortek builders need.

Hey Phil,
Did you chamfer/champher the teeth on the sprocket ring as stated on page 15 of the manual?
Thanks for your great insight on your build!
Larry

Not yet Larry, I want to see how it runs first. I do have another quicker method of taking the edges off the teeth. My pleasure with the insight and hope the tips help.

I will be interested in seeing how you speed up the chamfering process!

Loving this build! Can you tell me where you get your lettering and what sizes do you use? Really looking forward to seeing more on this build.

Many Thanks Allan

Hi Allan Ebay, Slaters Plastikard, I have a stock of different sizes but tend to use what looks best, sometimes as with these sprockets just a tad bigger than is correct otherwise they would be lost!

Allan, I did a post on this a few days ago:
