tiger 1 track cables and brackets
Hey guys, anyone know where I can get some track mounting cables and the brackets to fit then to the hull? Or am I better if just making my own? Cheers guys

Re: tiger 1 track cables and brackets
The little cable comes with the tow cable set from Aber, contact Forgebear and he'll sell you a set. As to the mounting points on the side of the take I made my own from a small piece of plastic with holes drilled through it, glued them to the side of the tank and wove the cable thought the holes just like the original would have been.

You can get the bracket set if you want them in metal and less fiddly than PE at Axels.

Re: tiger 1 track cables and brackets
Jackalope is right about the ABER set although I would whilst getting it from FORGEBEAR get a set of small and a set of large cable clamps, they are made of a soft metal and can easily be shaped using a small file and (thanks ALPHA)an emery board, you can also put a thread on the "Tail" so you can bolt them into place rather than glue them.shaun
I think I am about to upset someone

Re: tiger 1 track cables and brackets
Thanks guys, the only problem I that I have tow cables in already, I suppose I could always mount them on my panzer IV, I might go with jackalope's method to be fair as the last set of ABER clasps I had were to fiddly and still sat in my till box! Cheers guys will let you now how it turns out!
