The axle is now reassembled wheel to wheel.

Several of the original wheel nuts did NOT wish to go back on again.
Their resolution in that regard was unwavering, so I didn't force the issue. I'll run a tap through them, and look for replacement of some which were missing entirely.

I do like the look of the chosen tyres. They will do just fine.
Pity they don't show more enthusiasm for going onto CMP wheels.

Now taken a good look at my old ranging cone. It is in better shape than the recently acquired one, so will be the one which gets used, eventually! The main body of sight mounting assembly won't be with me for a little while yet, but it'll get here!

Another batch of minor parts should be on the way soon. Some for sight assembly, some not. Between brake parts offered for measuring, and what I have bought recently, I should be able to make a reasonable replication of the original system.
