Thanks for the pictures - they really help!

Just a question - I've not tried it yet, but I wonder, When you reverse the recoil unit, I suppose you also need to switch the elevation unit to the other side? If so, it is difficult to do so and secure it?

Yes, unless of course you turn it upside down as well. Haven't tried that, but it might work.

I am not sure why, but when I wired up my stug I had to add a diode at the motor to prevent current getting to the flash LED when the motor was running. When I drew this up I caught that, but because my Sherman never had this issue I assumed the Flash LED was doing its job, but on the stug this became a problem. So if by chance you find your Flash LED energized when the motor is running you may have to add this diode.
