Hi all
Thank you Mark and Gill for the help in wiring up the recoil and sound.
A video of it working before the turret was fitted

and some photos

Only one part had to be made , a plate to fit the servo to the gun raise and lower bracket, plus a bit of clearance machining for the cable up the barrel holder.
As an extra I also added a guide slot underneath the barrel holder with a cap screw drilled and tapped into the barrel

I did not take a picture of the mounting plate (sorry)

Hi Graham,

You have done a very nice job.
Can you explain a little bit how you have synchronized the sound and the recoilaction ?

The sound and recoil are synchronized automatically with the new recoil unit and sound unit from Armortek (initially wired up temporary by Mark). I am lucky there factory is only an hours drive from where I live.
I am not an electronics whizz kid.
