Front shock turrets
V8MoneyPit:
Hi all
I've got some tubular standard height shock turrets fitted. When I come to offer up the inner wings, they foul the hole where the standard turret passes through. It makes the whole wing assembly lean inwards! These particular turrets came from Paddocks.

Anyone else found this or am I being thick?
I remember some rather tasty shock turrets featured in one of the mags some time ago (just after I bought these ones :roll:). They were made using 4 vertical curved plates and they were pictured in yellow. Any ideas?
I might just go back to the standard ones for now, just to get the job done. I'll see if I can find them in the workshop, but I did a scrap run last week :roll:

Ah yes, they're the ones. Thanks.
I'll see if I can find out exactly what the problem is before I go buying something else though!

I've got the paddock tubular ones fitted. They've got clearance all round. Maybe once your wings are bolted up to the front panel they will be ok.

Thanks Rich. I'll have another go tonight. I might have done something daft.... it wouldn't be the first time!
