After I’m now finished with my technical alterations, it's now time for a few ideas for small improvements - and they I've also implemented. It started with a functional jack holder. So far I just stuck him with two pins in the rear wall, the crank position stays unchanged.
Starting material was again brass.
Marked the shape again and worked out roughly with the dremel and a flex plate, then drilled the both parts.
Both halves were then bolted together through these holes and further processed in a duo.
Then both were again transversely slotted with the Dremel...
...for receiving an eyebolt and these with a copper pin soldered.
The opposite ends received at the same manner a slotted lock plate, after that the parts was separated. The jack holder actually consists of four parts; each has two trays and two fittings. And so I had still to cut a few small metal sheets, everything from copper sheet residues.
It was again bent and soldered and after then looked my parts like this - two trays and two fittings.
Then the assembly of the parts at the rear wall of my Tiger; first I had to remove in the appropriate places the Zimmerit. This was followed by the assembly, both glued and screwed additionally - better safe if I'm traveling on rough terrain again with the Tiger.
The bolts were then of course flush separated...
...and the jack could lie the first time for sample. The position of the hand crank was not changed as has been said.
So many for today - it goes on in the next part – also again at the rear wall.
