I am currently working on preparing the chassis for assembly. Due to the provision of cast driving wheel springs and hangers I had to cut of the etched versions from each side of the chassis. Here I am half way through the process. I am also cutting out for the horn guides at the same time

The horn guides and blocks are Finney and consist of an etched backing plate with a fold up guide.Time spent making sure that they are square and free moving at this stage saves loads of hassle down the line.

Previously I have soldered a 12ba nut on the top of the guide to allow the screw to set the ride height later in the build. I found myself short of 12ba nuts so rather than wait I cut some strips of 0.7mm nickel and drilled them 0.8mm I then soldered them to the top of the guide and then drilled through both sections 1.0mm finally tapping them 12ba. I still have three to finish tapping this morning. The replacement springs will serve to retain the horn blocks once fitted. and I am considering making them removable as the Harris wheels on telescopic axles need more movement to allow them to be removed.
