Afternoon all,

I'm hoping that someone may know a supplier or point me in the direction to where I could find the parts in the pic below, they are needed for 1/16 scale and the bore diameter is to fit onto a 3mm shaft :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee. Image

The one on the right is the steering knuckle from a WPL upgrade set. Any metal upgrade set for WPL should have 2 of those. If you want to buy them separately that makes matters more complicated.

A bit costly but this is the smallest set I found containing these parts.

Hi Renoir,

Yes that's exactly the part, the one in the pic is from such a kit, I don't need the other items from the kit so that's why I'm trying to source them separately. The other part is a centre diff cup fitting that I'm looking for, I've found similar items on ebay but unfortunately they are to fit bigger vehicles :thumbdown: hopefully someone may know where to find some :D thanks for your help :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee .

Hi Alwyn,

I am upgrading my Andrew's design sd.kfz 222 with the help of 'Eddyk' who is sorting the under powered motor/transmission out for me, these parts are on my list to upgrade aswell as the holes for the grub screws have elongated :thumbdown: any other idea's would be greatly appreciated :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

I was lucky to pick this up a couple of years ago now Rad :D it needs upgrading to get it to run properly and with Eddyk's help hopefully it will be a good running model :thumbup:

Just in case, dont spend too much on it. Metal Origin says they are releasing an upgraded version "soon" (please pick that soon as a grain of salt, lol) turret rotation, barrel elevation, and overall better parts (except a huge and oversized 540 motor) are expected... So maybe you will be able to buy parts as spares.

But no doubt meanwhile you can start installing a soundcard, vibration unit, smoke and so on, in case you dont have it yet...
