Right just got back from the garage... The front to rear brake rods are not attached (at this time they are yet to even exist ). I backed off the inner roller a wee smidge and it runs like butter now. The axle was centred before I started each stub measuring 13" give a gnats tadger. There is no obvious free play and everything appears to look good. It may not be much of a job real time, but over all it is a big deal as its the first time the control surfaces have worked correctly since I got the carrier, and first time in nearly twenty years they have worked full stop.
Bit firmly between my teeth now !
