Bruder CAT 320

[Bg416]

Hey guys, I've started my conversion. I've got my tracks done and the turntable gear is installed. I originally wanted to do servo screw drives and I cut the arms for the servos to go in. I recently changed my mind and I'm going with hydraulics now. I've filled in the holes with body fill and everything is sanded. I'm just looking for opinions on how I should make and install cylinder mounts. Also if anyone can help me with the installation of the hydraulic system it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry guys I will get pics up as soon as I can. Thanks in advance

well i found the if you use magons stuff he uses a rod and set screw. i re drilled the holes and put m4 bolts thought everything. also i would keep the mounting points the same. i have found that im starting to need to replace some of the plastic parts with metal ones

Yeah that's where I got them from. I'm just going to use the cylinder mounts that come on the bruder arm. Now the hard part.. Waiting.
