Re: 1/12 Datsun 240ZG

Thanks Dingo and Spidey...

Small update, plus info on nuts'n'bolts...

Well...pretty much all my spare time lately has seen the rear tyre taking shape...I got the sidewalls finished and added the main tread layer, then trued it all.
My mis-aligned tread shapes I mentioned got stripped off, and once again I set about adding dozens of the little diamond shapes....

First couple of pics are just a recap on things, showing the rear tyre mounted in place....




And just a closer look at the rear tyre tread..(started..)


The next couple of pics are of the bolts/nuts I'm using for the struts..
They measure up (with digital calipers) at .93mm, which scales up pretty close to 12mm, or half inch.
The size quoted on the package was 14BA..?? Not sure how relevant that is these days, as I got them some years ago...




The tyre is almost complete now....so I'll be sending them, along with the wheels to my resin caster shortly.....
I gotta say.....I'm a little excited about it, cause I really want to see my tyres made from rubber....

Don't go too far guys....things could be heating up here, real soon...
cheers
Greg
