I have perfected my own install with jigs and such so well that I do not need his tranny now. I prefer to keep all my models the same as I build them. Its nearly one of a kind but it is super nice and robust. Just an offer. And I want to see a build thread as you go with your Gepard.
That's what I did on my first Leopard 1A4 that I'm now going to change to a 1A5 put bearing in the wheels and got the aftermarket arms pre drilled for it to and the aftermarket tranny plate and tranny's .
Thanks
