Hey guys ,, I need some help here .. I cant find any pics of the drive sprocket and the final drive of a Panther Ausf G .
What i am trying to see is what the final drive looks like without the drive sprocket on it and what the sprocket looks like without its axle cover on ,, pics of one removed would be brilliant,,anything like that would help in a huge way .

Thanks in advance ...

But if i have to i can modify my plans a little bit but hopefully i'll be able to stick with what i have in mind .

Here's a video link to the segment from "Tank Overhaul" that might be useful. On the same page you'll find another segment on the panther, too.

They aren't the best pictures but it's enough to give you an idea. I'd also say that you might want to email the guys doing the rebuild. If you discribe your intentions to them, they might be able to help. I'm sure they documented every step of that restoration.

Bob ,, Oh thanks mate for the memory kick ,, I have all the Tank over haul shows on my computer ,,I'll watch the Panther show again and thanks again for suggesting that one
