Hi all.
I'm about to make some lifting lugs for the exhaust armour shields. Does anyone know the correct dimensions?
TIA
2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY
Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.
So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.
We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.
Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Re: Exhaust armour lifting lug
Just a follow-up on what I did regarding the lift lugs.
Turned the lugs in brass on a lathe.
Dimensions i used was:
The shaft: 5x12mm
The endknob: diam 8mm 2.5mm thick.
I drilled a 5mm, 11mm deep hole and adjusted the lenght of the complete lug to protrude 7.5mm from the casting. I glued mine in with slowcuring CA.
Correct placement and depth of the lug should be determined by your heatshild cutouts.
