I got some work started on the turret. Installed the rotor shield and elevation servo with the recoil mount.
I found the set up for the elevation servo gear didn't mate well with the cog on the gun breech recoil unit so I turned the servo horn circle inside out and moved the servo to the other side of the stand up brackets to get alignment better. Also found the rotor shield wobbled side to side with a bit of play losing mesh on the elevation gear.
So I lowered the two vertical screws that hold the rotor shield in and cut little .020 plastic shims and jus dropped them in front of the tabs and pushed them in tight with a paint brush stick and screwed the retaining screws up and it worked perfectly. The rotor shield gun mount now stays in place perfectly without play.

I also found I am missing a bunch of other screws DKLM is now sending me.
