    Beautifully engineered part eh
    Aye it looks very neat .. any idea what the threads are on the fixings though ? . they dont seem to be metrics which I find odd ?

    heres a few pics of the grab mount area your thoughts would be welcome Graham

    Bit early to say I suppose until Ive got the rotator sorted ... at least the grab head has a circular cut out in it

      Well Ive found a bolt that works, clearly its a UNF/UNC or some other , but why has a German manufacturer done that ?

        sorry Muz....... just picked up on this ..... mine was M8 IIRC, but will check my spare, to see what that is ..... like you, got one new in the box .... bit more than yours though

        Might be UNC, if it was made specifically for the Yankie market ...... or even BSW / Whitworth
        If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

          Yes its that sort of size, just a coarser thread

            5/16" Whit or UNC then ?
            let me check mine Friday Muz .... got all sorts to sample with and thread gauges to suss ..... if the Druid's eye can't discern at a glance

            It don't come any courser ....... other than Acme
