Hi Richie

Just sent you an email with some drawings, and a link to this subject from the old forum.

Cheers

Richie,

This was a big job when building my early Tiger, which has the same wheel arrangement. The simplest thing to do is turn down the diameter of the spacers by a few millimeters. Turn the inter-wheel spacers into a dumbell shape. You also need to turn down the diameter of the spacer on the axle that has the largest diameter spacer. I went further like Vince and modiied the wheels so that they were all tied together with screws on each axle to prevent the wheels turning individually and also made sure that the wheels line up with the tracks and rear rollers.

thanks guys

did you turn the back of the outer road wheel down that meets the spacer? as my inner double tryers are hitting the back of the outer road wheel were it meets the spacer
