Building
the Road Wheels - Inverted Inner (Packs 5, 6, 7, and 8)
The
dished side of inner road wheels on the real Tiger I faced towards
the hull. Armortek manufactured a special set of aluminum spacers
for those owners who wanted to remain true to the real Tiger I.
These spacers were supplied upon request at no extra cost.

the road wheels.
Small aluminum spacer fitted to the suspension shaft. The raised ridge
should be facing out.
Inner
road wheels (CE0207) fitted to the suspension shafts. These wheels
have a single tire without the six holes for hub caps. The dished
side of the wheel should be facing the hull.
Eight
brass washers are required for these axles. Picture here shows the
position. Washers are not needed for the inverted wheel axles. The
use of the washers is for first generation kits only and do not apply
to the early version Tiger kits.
Next

to the shaft of the inverted inner single tire wheel and steel spacers
have been fitted to the double tire wheels.
And
another set of double tired wheels (CE0213) fitted.
The final set of road wheels (CE0206) with single tires. These wheels
have the six threaded holes for the hub caps.
