Torro KV2 Turret

Post by mike1268 »

I've taken my KV2 turret to bits to paint it and make a few upgades/changes. I have a white wires that has broken loose that goes to the recoil motor. I assume it used to go to the switch in the top. The black wire that is also on the switch was hanging loose so I now have no idea where the white cable should be soldered to bypass the switch. Any ideas?

Are they wires you can see through the turret ring, or does it need taking apart? Only asking as I wasn't planning on dismantling mine until I was ready to do the rebuild.

It's in bits now. I had stripped it down to fit a camera and vampire. Will take a pic

I'll have a look this evening if I get chance.

Where did you get the two-part exhausts from?

I think it's a common negative, but I don't want to risk burning it out ....lol

That looks different to the bit I could see. Think I'll need to take the turret off & have a better look - might be the weekend though.
