Love that turret!
So I cleaned up where I lopped off the old turrets, bolted all the required suspension components back on and mounted up the new turret! I then moved them inboard 30mm as planned and checked the camber which was -3.5deg. I was aiming for around -4deg so I know I can go further if I want to!
I need to now decide whether to come up and or inbound more. Looking at old pics I can go up but not sure if I should wait for the body to be back on before I make a decision and know if it definitely clears [emoji848]
I also have not yet fully decided on how I will attach the turrets to the chassis, well more like where, but I have some ideas. A choice of one piece of tube impacts the next... Lots of standing and staring while tea drinking to be done!

No big update today as I try and keep my neighbours happy with no grinder noises all day on a Sunday! [emoji23] So just a few hours this afternoon.
Chopped off the other old turret, now needs the excess grinding back.
Mounted and levelled the turrets.
Fitted an upright each side between the subframe and tension bracket mounts to the upper bar.
I have now also moved both turrets at total of 35mm inbound and raised them 25mm [emoji4]

Tagging the turrets into the chassis is underway. Such a time consuming process!

Seems I’ve reached my image upload limit for month!
I’ve got one to tie in on the front then its onto the other side. I’m then gonna pull the shell/nova body out of storage and give it a test fit, make sure everything is clearing.
That turret.... Christ!
