peteinman Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 This is a dumb sounding question, but does anyone know what the size of the screw is that holds the 46T gear onto the shaft? Mine seems to have gone walkabout...and I don't have a spare! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1010 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I couldn't tell you what size the screw is as i don't have my marder here. But if you don't have a spare that will fit & you'll have to buy some you might find it useful to have a complete screw kit. Long term it'll be chaper than buying the little packs of odd screws from the model shop, many of which you'll never use. JEspares does a couple of stainless and high tensile ones but the standard FG screw kit is pretty good value at £8 from modelsport. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=14875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hello Pete. If your still running the standard gear carrier then there isn't a screw that holds it on. The spur gear fit on the carrier and that's held on the shaft with a E clip. If your running the alloy carrier then its held on the shaft with two 4mm grub screws. Hope this is of some help to you.

DAVE I seem to have the alloy gear carrier...then the 4 rubbers, then the 46t gear....the gear carrier is held on with two grub screws, but the actual shaft has a threaded centre, and there's a screw which holds the main gear (6427) on to the shaft...I think it's 4/5 mm, but not sure. I have the screw set from fg, and the one I want isn't in there! Just my luck. I'll go hunting tomorrow I think... Pete .....found it...it's an M6. Taking the leopard into the hardware shop made some heads turn!! Edited March 28, 2007 by peteinman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1010 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 .....found it...it's an M6. Taking the leopard into the hardware shop made some heads turn!! Aye that would work!!!! I'm glad you got it sorted. At least as an M6 you'd have a decent shot of finding one in a hardware shop, some places don't stock much smaller than that.
