The rest of yesterday was spent fitting the replacement driving wheels springs. Due to fitting Alan Harris wheels, I thought it necessary to make the springs and hangers removable so that the horn blocks can be dropped out for maintenance. With Slaters wheels it’s easy to loosen the screw and ease the wheel from the axle to wiggle them out around the brakes. When using telescopic axles there isn’t the flexibility to wiggle the wheels so alternatives need to be sought.
