TAKE 2 🤦‍♂️
The StuG III G Transmission needs a lot of work and is on the back burner for now....
Meanwhile, Beau has, after over 12 months, finally finished the suspension and is at last dropping it on its wheels - putting the torsion bars (new and old) to the ultimate test!
We also test fit the refurbished brakes and drive line linkages!

I love the outtakes at the end; because, for all of us who are one-man production teams on KZfaq, you've validated we're not the only one with a script stuffed in our back pocket whilst shooting dozens upon dozens of takes to get it just right. Thanks for demonstrating we're not machines. 📽 🤓

For quite some time, Kenworth trucks used torsion bar suspension on their prime movers. Known in the industry as "broom sticks" they had a heavy rating for GCM. It was possible for them to snap. There is a story that a truckie broke down in outback queensland, and had a friend fly out a new torsion bar in a cessna..........but there was nowhere to land. So his friend threw the torsion bar out the plane at low altitude near the broken down truck.

@creightonleerose582 27 күн бұрын

Pretty cool/simple method to use the centrifugal force present within already existing parts to accomplish a secondary task. I wonder what the pad material was made from as to WW2 German tanks & AFV's? -Prob Asbestos?... In that case, YES, you'd DEF want such piped >> outtve >> the vehicle!...But still dangerous, as I cant see such a unique system capturing, collecting, containing & extracting 100% of the brake dust outtve the brake drum or crew compartment itself?....

@ramisalomaki5318 27 күн бұрын

To Aussi Armour, i don't remember when that Stug was built but if it's built in 1944 or before, paint should be rotbraun basecoat, then dunkelgelb and then camouflauge pattern. After 1945, paint after basecoat it could only be dunkelgelb or dunkelgrün. And plus camouflage pattern colors

@johnanon6938 27 күн бұрын

When I saw the rod end yoke had a notched shank I wondered if it was for a clevis pin spring clip, took a look and all the modern ones stop to the sides but never seem to reach around to where the notch is. Not saying that WW2 German vehicles didn't have them but Beau might be right about a safety clip for the nut although I can't say I've seen that before, but have seen two jam nuts used there and nylocks. I do enjoy AusArmour restoring these old vehicles and of course Kurt's camera work, with Many Thanks!

Great work on the brakes. Bo or Beau surely is a craftsman. For a Ginger. Never knew he was a curly haired Ginger. He has the skills of one of the Dwarf Blacksmiths of Asgard. He does do what seems to be magic work sometimes. Does he have engineering training, or does he have a natural eye for spacial mechanics. I noticed Dez has similar skills for figuring things out also. Your whole staff seems to be very talented in their own niches. It is a pleasure to watch people knowing what they are doing. After this project take a run down to Brisbane and look up Jade Blair.
