i managed to sort the wheel toe in problem.

How many pints of coffee do you drink a day?
Keep up the good work and thanks for your help :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the early ones have 6 stacks each side?

Look at the pics, some with and some without. According to Francis K Mason, early models (c 1938) had 3 pipes per side. Just checking!:)
