So I got the LEDs installed and soldered to the buss and then glued in the brush guards, accept for the rear, they don't fit right since they came off the flat rear of an A3 so I will make new brass ones this weekend.
I put it all together and fired it up. The lights all work and the turret rotates great.
Then I puttied some welds around the brush guards to fill in the holes they are mounted in.
