Flak 88 Help Required

Post by Phil Dawe »

Evening Chaps,

Can I please apologise first if I am asking an obvious question the answer of which is probably staring me in the face.

On the Flak 88 which fastener does one use to connect CF0407 to CF0408? I cannot find reference to it in the instructions.

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

I would say it will be an M3x10 with a nut. You could make some like the original.

Hi Phil,

You can get M4 castle nuts from eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turnbuckle-St ... 33826c3902

If you want M3 castle nuts, contact Steve Winston. Steve makes both types at 50p a nut. if you need any photos just let me know!
