First off is the steering, drilled out the old internal siku steering part with a 2mm drill bit right down the center of the rivet. Which then release the steering, then with some 2mm brass rod bent to fit to get the wheels straight. Then cut down a bit on both ends, so when put into the 2mm holes the rod can be spread to hold it in place. Last sand down the center flat. The mudguards are marked up both side of the cab, then cut just past the top slope. Then when still hot bent straight, then cut square with cab post. The hitch is done by first cutting off the old ring or ertl hitch ,then just above the rivet cut out a small hole to take the siku hitch. The siku hitch will need the end cut down a bit to fit. To get the hight right i use a second siku tractor end on.
