Hi All, a little bit of progress.
I was originally going to cut through the wheel arches to be able to slide the front axle tube in.
But I decided to try cutting and soldering a shorter tube to fit the little gap between the wheel arches.
It has worked quite well, so that means I won't weaken the wheel arches.
I've had to cut the back a lot, but I'm going to strengthen that with some solid brass tube I can bend. I'll post pics once done, easier than explaining.
I think I might try and do the strengthening for the back arches next, while I wait for the fixings to come from AliExpress.
Cheers for looking.
Tony
