RE: inside turret issues

Post by Alfred Pfaff »

Hi all, just need some advice on how to hold something I broke together. The brass piece and the screw that allows the gun to elevate broke. The screw came out and I don't know how it was put in. It looks like it was maybe JB welded or something but I need some advice on putting it back together. Enclosed is a picture thanks in advance for everyones help.

Best Regards

Al

hello Alfred,
looks like you need to replace the brass block that carries the bolt that allows the mantlet to pivot, the brass block has a tread for the big bolt to screw in to and this bolt then carries the weight of the mantlet, call Gill to see if they can send you one if they still have stock of them,
hope this helps.
CHRIS.
