A tiger gets a new suspension and chain tensioner

ciao Edwin-Apamotec ti rinnovo i miei complimenti,sono senza parole nel vedere i lavori che fai sui tuoi carri.............          

And Today the reconstruction of the Tiger is ready ...

But first I have to screw the engines in the new steel gears.



Then I first the joy that once again only a single screw is a screw on the mounting plate and this is also about 1mm too far inside.

So the file out a hole slightly , and a second mating hole in gear and mounting plate attached to the I then cut a M3 thread .







Thus , the transmission and now sits just at the right place .



To check the chain again used a track bar.



Before mounting two tracks Loctite on the mounting plate .



So the transmission does not shift so much and still goes well again .

Supports where the axle I do not screw again . The old holes do not fit anymore and when I put the screws firmly wedged it gladly and clamps the axle. So I have my glue method. First, I need a piece of wrought epoxie .



Side of the tub I paint a thick layer of Pattex .



Then I push the support bearings on the axle lightly oiled and put a ring on Knetepoxie the camp.



Then I Stülpe the countershaft cover and press on the swelling clay with a screwdriver inside of .



But the bonding surface has to dry overnight before being charged , then it holds but is also outstanding and to get back on anyway.

So I can then drive the wheels and the strut on the gear units .



Yet set the suspension and checked the chain track one last time.





The chain is a little short. With the chain tensioners I am at vordesten stop so the idlers are very high, but that may change its owner then quite quickly .



So far everything is ready now and tomorrow goes back to its owner.
