Post by evad »

So the wife and me went down to my brothers ( jukebox ) for a long weekend visit,the women went out so that left me with some free time........................on with the tank upgrades !!
First thing to do was removing the old suspension which ment splitting the hull.

Once the lettering etc was removed removing the old units was straight forward.The front suspension is held in with a clip and the rest are the same with two screws holding the clip in.

Hi guys,I was hoping someone have an idea about this picture. It seems to be some kind of reference picture as there is some kind of scale laid on the hull and the tools have numbers on them but I don't see any division markings etc on it. Ideas ??
