| Subject: | What to do with the leftover M7 Priest bogie covers |  |
| Date: | Oct 18, 2007 |
| From: | Saul Garcia | |
Academy's Priest gives one the option between two outer bogie halves. Using the leftover bogie halves, one can correct the bogies on the M3 Lee.
In the photo, the M7 parts are on the left. Here we can see that the inner bogie halves need to be simply cut on the M3 parts to match the height of the outer half. Then the axle pin needs to be moved up. The concentric springs are cut down but this is on the side which will be hidden after assembly. The most difficult are the stiffeners which are slightly a different shape. Perhaps cut from styrene sheet.
I hope this helps,
