Conversion to Steel Wheels.
The kit has been designed to use Binnie Wheels & Axles with miniature sealed bearing races. It is however possible to convert the model to different wheel sets in the following ways.
1) Using the supplied bearings which have 3 mm shafts;
2) Using a reducer (supplied) that fills the 7 mm diameter hole down to a 3.2 mm diameter hole (e.g. Brandbright journals);
3) Using a plug that allows the modeller to fill bearing pockets and drill to fit. Note plug comes with pilot hole for accuracy.
