The more I do to this little bugger the less I like it. The front axle assembly will not fit through the body apatures once built and assembling it in situ is a non starter.

So I have resorted to cutting the body apart to facilitate fitting the suspension to the floor and bringing it up into the body later. This meant much more work than I wanted but seems the only way around it. The DeDion suspension drums and arms are proving difficult to align due to their proximity to the brake drum liners.

Still these things are sent to try us are they not!
