Simond Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I think Mark has the answer. Your hornblock has a protuberance that does not appear on the assembly instruction drawing. My guess is that the hornblocks have been updated, and the etch has not. I do recall trying to do this on my Slater's clerestories, years ago. I don't recall what I actually did, but it may have involved bad language, as, effective as it is, evolution had not equipped me with enough hands and heat-resistant fingertips. Aligning the "tuning fork" with the side of the hornblock, ensuring they were fixed together and yet not flooding the grooves with solder was a game. Particularly by #8... The clincher for Mark's theory - is the groove in the hornblock turned concentric with the bearing hole, or are there two milled grooves, one either side? If the latter, it's definitely an upgraded, improved version, and the tuning forks are redundant. Belay that, the answer is obvious in the third photo. It is the latter.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted January 21, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2016 See, that's the why I don't read instructions until after I've finished building something, saves any confusion I can't help but feel that the bogie instructions were written in haste with not much in the way of testing. Compared to other Slaters instructions they are somewhat vague and confusing in places. Definitely room for some redrafting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all easy to convert a rainstrip location on a photo to the model's roof. On the plus side there doesn't seem to be a definitive location and I suspect those carrying out the re-felting had their own ideas on where they should go.
