That roller might have fought you Nick, but the rivets went clean enough! Small mercies.
Terrific save: I’d have binned that one! Great work.😮

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Thank you Fraser, when I got half way through doing it I was beginning to think I probably should have binned it lol, got there in the end though 👍😊🐸🐸

[@jesterger]

That one gave you a bit of resistance at first. You overcame all the obsticles, to make it beautiful in the end. Well done, Nick.

[@mickmanly1479]

That was a fighter

[@chrissmith1387]

Brilliant, Nick !! Usual top drawer finish and excellent out door shots. Can I ask, where did you get your hollow tube axles and pins ?

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Thank you Chris, the tube I bought a few years ago at our local B&Q and the pins came in an axle kit from EBay about 6 years ago, I’m not sure who the seller was since the time, but the tubes that came with the kit were very easy to bend, the tubing from B&Q was a little bit stronger. All the best, Nick🐸🐸
