Panther G Engine Deck Detail

Post by Will Roberts »

Hello Peeps,

I have an Armortek 2006 Panther that I am building. This early kit lacks the engine deck bolt detail of the 8 hex fasteners top and bottom and the wrong number and sizes along the sides. I do not know the size of these bolts but Graham Pipe has identified that M16 Hex bolts were used on the fan covers that house the round grilles so I am using this. The standard M16 bolts have a head AF size of 24mm which in 1/6th is 4mm. This therefore suggests that M2 bolts which have a head size of 4mm is the best fit. I am also replacing the bolts on the Driver and Operator hatch cover plate. Does anybody have any thoughts on this or indeed knows the correct size. I would ask the Rutherford twins when I next see them but Tankfest is some time away. Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Will.
