King Tiger / Jagdtiger -Return Idler Cranks
I have been ask if I would make some extra throw TK-JT return idler cranks to get better track adjustment. If I get interest I will make a batch they will be left and right to maximise the full range of adjustment. Anyone interested please PM.

Hi Liam,
I am definitely interested. PM sent.
BTW , what are those small parts in the top right corner of the 1st & 2nd photos? Are they related to KT / JT?

Re: King Tiger / Jagdtiger -Return Idler Cranks
Hi Ken
I am currently waiting for confirmation on some dimensions from the current kits as the KT I have is a 2009 kit.
During the design checking of the cranks an error in the original 2009 kit was found that puts the idler 3-4mm too far away from the hull. Once I get the current kit dimensions I will finish the CAD and start machining, it may be closer to Christmas before I get parts finished.
Thanks
Liam

Yes, very interesting…
I have replied to your email twice, including photos and again yesterday after Dave in the US mentioned you had commented to him, so I suggest that you check your junk mail?
You live just down the road and have both my work and home phone numbers I am sure a quick phone call would have relieved your concerns?
As I stated earlier I would be working on these over the Christmas period, I now have them ready and have contacted everyone that has expressed interest, if you have not received an email please contact me and I will resend the quotes.
Thank you
Liam

Re: King Tiger / Jagdtiger -Return Idler Cranks
Thank you to all of the members that expressed an interest in the return idler cranks, all the cranks manufacture in this batch have now been sold. Due to the complexity it may be some time before I run another batch.
Thank you
Liam
