Hi all, fitting the single wheel stations and assembly of the springs. Having a spring compressor eliminated the possibility of death or serious injury as these are under immense pressure during assembly. I have done it before without a compressor but it's scary.

And in. Looking at a few photo's looks like a half hour job but this is all day from 7.30 this morning. But I'm sure we all know there's no such thing as a 5 minute job.

Certainly helps to be able to work on these machines upside down. I would say these tracks have done no miles at all.

I have made a small bracket to tension the tracks with the porta power and it works very effectively.
